Rant. Puffs at 3 1/2 months
Last night I was out with friends. A couple sat down next to us with a beautiful 31/2 month old (my friend knew the parents). Halfway into our meal I looked over and they were feeding the baby puffs and using a straw to give the baby water. WHYYYYYYY???
Can I give 4 month old baby 2 ounces juice???
I wish.... There was a place all of us could bring our May babies to play with each other, so our babies could have some great friends, like we all have in this group :)))
Short Luteal Phase? I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Baby girl names ending in -ley Hi! What are your favorite names or uncommon names that end with -ley? We already have a Finley, and I love Presley, but a good friend of mine may be using it. I feel like I have heard them all! Thank you!
I told my friend my mom wants to throw me a baby shower and write on the invite "monetary gifts only" and he told me that people aren't trying to pay for my "gas bill" I'm offended because a lot of money goes into a baby shower, and if you're gonna give me a 10$ blanket from Ross that I probably won't even use it's a waste. I rather use those 10$ for my honest company diaper subscription.

My pedi told me to introduce my son earlier because of his low weight and failure to thrive. It's not always because a parent doesn't know but sometimes the doctor suggests it so I don't judge!

Health experts and breastfeeding experts agree that it’s best to wait until your baby is around six months old before offering solid foods. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization, and many other health organizations recommend that babies be exclusively breastfed (no cereal, juice or other foods) for the first 6 months of life. I’m not going into the many health benefits of delaying solids here; see When Should Baby Start Solids? for more information.

6 months.
Scroll down to food introductions

"Introduce solid foods around 6 months of age
Expose baby to a wide variety of healthy foods
Also offer a variety of textures
Evidence
A substantial number of families introduce complementary solid foods around 3-4 months, especially if the infant is perceived as fussy.
Formula fed infants are at more risk for early introduction of solids.
Introduction to solids prior to 4 months is associated with increased weight gain and adiposity, both in infancy and early childhood.
Research indicates that it is important to expose children to a wide variety of flavors and textures.
Many babies and toddlers need to be exposed to foods multiple times before accepting them.
Babies and toddlers are more likely to eat foods they see their peers and parents eating."

AAP says anytime between 4-6 months.

My son would cry and kick his feet opening his mouth when I was feeding my girls (they didn't get solid food until 12mths) and he would get missed out . I felt bad so I let him taste food but it was real food like chicken (pre chewed) , and pasta . Yes only a tiny bit but I did it .
My children are always ebf this son breastfed until 3 1/3years, I've never bought a jar of baby food and always made them food my self.
their selection of food wasn't the best it's and you should not introduce any foods until the child is min 6 months better 12 mths but their child and their choice . Each person will do something another person may view as careless or unthinkable but that's life .
I just mind my own kids personally

Yeah, usually they say not sooner than 4 months and I think that's with purees.
Dude, people do crazy things.
