question because im confused... my son is almost 5 months old. we took him to get his shots today and our dr said we could start cereal anytime now. well my wife and i were talking after the appt.... i always remember feeding the cereal to my younger brothers and sister... is that still how people do it? my wife said put it in his bottle... help please.
@ashleydunn, yeah i have heard of it but by a different name we did that at 9 months with our son
@mommysbabies steamed veggies are really mushy and chew up easily. You want to start with sizes of their fingernails. They will gag at first but that's how they learn to chew.
@ashleydunn, lead weaning? Are you chop up the food in little baby pieces so it’s easy for them not to choke on?
well i plan on making all of his foods. not store bought
@mamma2besoon
Someone has a group. I'm terrible at explaining. We started with steamed veggies. Green beans, carrots, squash, zucchini then moved on to fruit. BLW you don't do purees they get whatever you're eating (with some exceptions like honey, eggs, peanut butter)
Start with a vegetable I was reading a book from a dietitian and she said starting with fruit can make baby have a sweet tooth and I’d start at 6 months
I wouldn't do cereal at all. No nutritional value and putting it in bottle is a choking hazard. Wait until baby is 6 months old then start solids. We skipped baby food altogether and did BLW
ok so if we dont do it then what do we start with? and when?
You can but there's really no use for it. I never did it with my daughter.
Don’t put it in bottle and you don’t have to do it there is no nutritional value in it
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Good starting foods are: avocado, banana, applesauce, sweet potato. Pureed with breastmilk or formula. And remember: food before 1 is just for fun!! Starting them young lets them experiment with tastes, textures, chewing and swallowing.
