How old was your child when you started giving him/her food? My baby is 4 months and pediatrician…

My pediatrician recommended not starting until 6 months!!

We skipped puree and baby oatmeal and do BLW

At 4 months I tried rice cereal and oatmeal and my daughter hated it, near the end of four months we tried Gerber baby foods any really and she loves them, just took her a while to learn how to eat it. Bananas, apples, sweet potatoes,

She eats her bottle most of the time but eats baby food for breakfast and dinner with a small bottle

We did oatmeal a few times then went to green veggies, and fruit last... my daughter LOVES green veggies now. So that's how I plan to do it with the next

My doctor said we can give my son cereal at 4 months ( he hated cereal) now he's about to be 6 months and just started eating it. I know he also likes bananas but his tummy isn't ready for it

You should look up open gut before you decide. It's much better for their digestive system if you wait

My sons doctor said to start him on cereals first and then to start with green vegetables like peas first so that baby learns to eat less sugary tasting foods foods. It helps them like their veggies when their older!

@ashley.n.dunn, what is BLW?

@rari, I have always heard that about veggies! That's what I had been planning to do but when he said fruits it kinda threw me off! Didn't know if it was rude to not listen to the pediatrician or what.

@taryn.jolly, where you give them what ever you're eating with few exceptions (honey or eggs) instead of puréed

My 7 month old eats veggies/ pork chop/ chicken/ noodles/ hamburger/spaghetti

I just cut it up in small pieces
