Solids When are y'all offering them? Caellum's pediatrician said today that I can offer at 4 months if he's got good…

I tried carrot & bananas with my guy already at 13 weeks, only gave him a few small spoonfuls, and he loved it!

I will start when she shows interested and can sit well preferably unassisted and I will start with baby led weaning, no puree. Sliced cucumber will be first

World Health Organisation recommends starting solids at 6 months. Anything earlier can damage their intestinal tracts. Have a read through the Virgin Gut.

I always started at 3 months... my boys eat pears and squash half and half and they devour it!!! For premies they sure can move fast!!! Lol

Time is flying they are all becoming like real little people that DO THINGS haha its amazing how it all works

I usually start with plain yogurt around 7/8 months.

Shystarr, I want to do a combo of puréed foods and actual food!

I started my older daughter on solids at four months old. I will try black at four months as well and see how it goes. My daughter didn't like baby cereal or baby food so I did what my sister did and started her on mashed and minced food. I skipped puree completely. It's funny cause when I seen Facebook pictures of her giving her son food I thought she was crazy. I can't lie I was afraid of her choking but here she is two in November and she's beautiful and healthy.

Trisha, it is crazy! Can't believe how big all our babies are getting. Time is flying.

Im starting my baby at about 3.5 months only a tablespoon or so at a time and only one to 2 times a day . her ped. Thinks it may help with her acid reflux ... I will start with one thing at a time will prob stick with basic oatmeal and stay with that till 6 months . maybe add apple sauce about 5 months with the oatmeal! .i say whatever baby is ready for and has the ability to handle go for it . you know baby best and know what he is or isn't ready for ..

So crazy we all went from talking about when we go into labor to when our babies will be eating solids ???? they grow so fast

I plan on starting around 6 months with high allergy foods (peanut butter, strawberries, etc)

I plan to start at 6 months but I swear my mom has let my 2 month old lick popcorn and bananas and my daughter is greedy enough to actually do it and gets mad when my mom removes it from her face ??‍♀️ *side bar because I know someone will say something* this doesn't happen a lot and I've talk to my pediatrician he says she's fine as long as she doesn't actually swallow any and doesn't have a lot.

We started at 6 months with my daughter so that's when we'll start with Jack

if your pediatrician says its ok then by all means. I tried many times with my other son and he literally would gag until he was over 1 year old to eat. It was so frustrating. I suggest totally start if he is interested.

I started at 6 and it took a few months until he would try anything

It definitely depends on baby for me. Does baby watch me eat every bite? Is the tongue thrust reflex gone? Head control good? If so, then it's in!!

Started my oldest around 5-6 mos.

we puréed a lot of stuff but she really preferred anything she could hold herself. Loved steamed veggies, sliced avocado, things like that.

We will do baby led weaning starting at 6 months. There are links to starting solids too soon and obesity and diabetes and since breastmilk provides everything my baby needs until then, I see no point. We will avoid sugary starches like rice, and start with nutrient dense foods. I'm a firm believer that feeding puréed foods (baby food) with a spoon is pointless and can possibly inhibit their development. With BLW they are fully capable of picking up their own food and feeding themselves. It's way easier too, just feed them what you eat minus things they shouldn't have like salt and sugar. It also has been known to prevent picky eaters because they get used to different textures early.

I will still breastfeed until at least a year if I'm fortunate enough to continue to do so. I'm considering breastfeeding until about 18 months.

My pediatrician recommend 6 months for my lo. But as long he's ready go for it.

I did some reading this past few weeks and decided that I will start around 4.5 months but only if I'm happy with the way she sits in her regular high chair.

She still does a lot of leaning forward in her sit me up chair and I wouldn't be comfortable feeding her in that position.

Not sure what I will start with. Need to do some more reading on that part. It's between veggies and starches for starters.

I'll start around 4-6 months, I did around that time with my daughter too. It's worth a shot at 4 months and if they don't want it try again in a month haha

I will be starting at 16 weeks per GI doc. First with oatmeal and sweet potatoes. Hopefully it'll help with my girl's reflux.

My 2 year old was formula fed and we started at 4 months with puréed veggies. He did really good and right now is a super great eater and loves to eat vegetables. My daughter is ebf and I want to wait until 6 months to start with her.

My baby dr said at our 4 month visit we will see how he's doing and talk about introducing solids.

Gonna start Caroline at 4 months with veggies, but just like a spoon full, nothing extreme. Not a fan of baby cereal.

Were going to do baby led weaning. Starting to offer him soft things he can hold and eat at 6 months but not forcing anything and letting him eat at his own pace as I still feed him breastmilk

I started my son at 6mo. He absolutely refused until 10mo
