Whether you introduce finger foods from 6months or 9months they will have to learn how to chew & swallow. I gave things like toast, banana, broccoli & chicken to begin with. I started with 1 meal a day & by 2 or 3 weeks they were on 3meals a day. Very small portions though. I tend to offer milk first then a meal an hour later as milk is still the most important source of nutrition. There's no right or wrong though I tend to follow their lead 😊

I gave mine some porridge in morning then breast I then gave him half a jar of food half jar pud them some water my boys love food haha and Lil finger snacks for them to hold through out the day

At 5 months I gave Logan two meals a day included his recommended amount of milk. Porridge in the morning then purée veg and fruit. A snack was just a yogurt. Now Logan has 3 meals a day and snacks in between. Xx @natsbabyboy,

cute @barnold I always thought they had to be about 9m for finger food because of chocking hazard I'd be scared to give him solid food this young incase he choked. you little boy must be good at chewing and swallowing x

thankyou @daniellep5690 @lauren1996 makes sense I tried him with baby porridge mixed with his milk and he hated it he loves veg puree though x

@natsbabyboy i started weaning him at 4 months due to reflux and slowly let him try lil bits i was having and he took the toast no problem at all.. obviously it varies from baby to baby.. he has an entire slice to himself x

My boy is 4 months on Saturday and he's been weaned since 12 weeks! He had porridge every morning and a bottle I try and give him a purée veg, such as peas or carrots, and he sometimes has another veg or a fruit purée about 5 but not all the time depending on how he is and if he's just tooo tired! But he has bottles with his food and throughout the day still but don't have as many ounces @natsbabyboy, xx

I don't think there is a certain way to wean. It's just about introducing the foods slowly. My little one is just over one now. When she was 5months I started to introduce the baby rice porridge as breakfast and you make it with their milk too. When she had her breakfast instead of giving her 6oz I dropped it to 4oz with the porridge. You will know yourself when your little one is more hungry for solids than milk. In my experience there is no right or wrong way you will know because you know your baby best. By 7/8months my little one was having a breakfast a lunch and dinner and a small 4/5oz bottle in between times. x

can he swallow and eat toast at 5m? I thought finger foods were from about 9m

ive no idea to @natsbabyboy but ive kinda gone with how my boy has responded and acted.. we started with porridge in the afternoons and now he has toast for breakfast.. he started to watch me like a hawk at breakfast times so thats when i gave him toast.. he has snacks throughout the day too.. but with each meal i offer him his milk afterwards to.. sometimes he wants it sometimes he doesnt.. im prob doing it hard way lol but its working for us x
