what do i do when my babys dr says to start feeding my son veggies and he is 4 months old people are…

but his dr said it was ok to do so he has been on cereal for a month now almost and he doing really good on it

Isabelle is almost 5 months and her doctor approved her for the stage one foods at four months. Just make sure you're getting the purees! Isabelle does just fine. We give her one pouch of either a fruit or a veggie every two days.

I started feeding my daughter at 4 months. I started with carrots for a week. It took her a little bit to figure out what to do but once she did she loved eating. I then did sweet potatoes, peas, grean beans, ect. Each veggie I did for 1 week to make sure she wasn't allergic. After I went through all the veggies I wanted to introduce her to at 5 months I slowly gave her fruit. At 6 months she was eating table foods and baby food. Everyone has different opinions on when to start feeding their little ones. Some start at 4 months others wait until 6 months and some even wait longer. If your doctor is giving you the ok and your comfortable feeding him then go for it. Just know your the mom and you know what's best for him so don't let other's opinion change what you want to do.

i know that i dont want to hurt him by feeding him that but he loves it :(

Listen to your doctor, love. More importantly..listen to your instinct. If you feel uncomfortable bring your concerns to your doctor so that he may reassure you otherwise.

listen to your pediatrician. if your pediatrician says it's fine to feed him at 4 months then go with that. we got the approval at 4 months and that's when we introduced solids to my daughter. it's ok if your child isn't quite interested in everything yet.

All doctors are different. Tinley's pediatrician said to start her at 4 months and I did but she wasn't too crazy. She's almost 6 months now and still don't care for baby food except the yogurt. She eats table food or normally whatever I have that I know she can eat. And no matter what I give her, she tries to chew it up, although she doesn't have any teeth. Lol.

i just miss feeding a baby baby food since i didnt get to with my daughter and i feel like i am rushing it

My son is 5.5 months and he's not even close to ready for food. My MIL keeps trying to get me to start him on rice cereal, but I'm against if for the reasons that @cubanese brought up. If my son seems interested in food in the next couple months I will let him experiment by tasting avocado or sweet potato, but I would prefer to give him breast milk only until 9mo.

My son does both the rice cereal we started out with the oatmeal but unfortunately he has a gluten intolerance so we had to switch to it and people have been doing it for years and it hasn't hurt anyone it's all a matter of personal opinion your dr is telling you you can if you want if you find that the formula isn't filling up YOUR child then go ahead if you think she is fine then just wait till you notice that she is still hungry and all the research I found online says it's ok to do baby food at four months but it's your child do what you feel is right

My daughter's pediatrician recommended feeding her solid foods at four months, but we opted to wait until six months. I did a lot of reading and found that babies' bellies just aren't ready for food, yet that young. It can be hard on them. Causing constipation and blockages in their stomachs. It's 100% your decision, you don't have to follow everything the doctors recommend. Whatever you feel is best for you and your little one.

@Cubanese, I couldn't agree more.

I don't know why people seem to think doctors go years without updating their knowledge. That is NOT how the medical field works. Doctors have to take a certain amount of continuing education hours each year to further knowledge and get new information
