starting solids
My baby is now 4 months, she was born 7 weeks early but the Dr's are very impressed with her progress. Well they told me I could start her on stage 1 foods between 4-6 months (she said I can wait until she's closer to 6 months since she's a preemie)
Losing the baby My sil is about 4 months along in her pregnancy and she starting bleeding really heavily so my dh took her to the hospital. He said she's dilating but hasn't texted back yet.
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.
I just absolutely love some women on here! Some woman wants to write on another women's post telling her she shouldn't be having sex at all in the beginning of pregnancy. I didn't know she was her doctor. Then she wants to tell me that the first trimester is only 1-9 weeks pregnant. And she lost her baby at 4 weeks pregnant due to sex. Like sweetie that's your period starting!
How do you moms feel about starting baby food before 6 months? I'm a ftm with a 4 month old (well 3 3/4) and about a week ago I was eating fresh watermelon when she started eyeing me like crazy. So I gave her a little cube of watermelon to suck on. I held it by her mouth and she loved it. A few days later I gave her another and this time she held it herself and sucked on it. Again she loved it. So fast forward, I was grocery shopping today and ran into organic baby food. So many delicious flavors! So I picked up a stage 1 jar. (Jar says OK for babies around 4 months that can sit up with support.) She can definitely sit up with hardly any support. So should I go for it and skip the rice cereal? Is it too early to even start? I need opinions! She's been breastfed only since she was born. Of course I would never give her anything that will harm her. I can just see she's ready to expand her horizons. I posted a pic of the jar in the comments!

Yeah they do say start with veggies and limit the fruit b/c of that. But you haven't ruined her..lol. We started with avocado b/c it doesn't have too much of a taste and have moved on from there. My daughter has gummed on an apple but I think that's as sweet as we've gotten so far.

Thank you SCGal. They didn't really give guidelines on what I should give her first. But I bought some sweet potatoes too so she will definitely be getting those next. I'll hold off on the fruits for now

I started my son with fruits... and he still eats vegetables without any problem.

These things are all a matter of preference. My son was 6 weeks early and at his 4 month apt they said that he was ready, and to just go for it, 1 meal a day anything we wanted, but only introduce a new food every 3 days. My son wasn't that interested in foods until 5.5 and we still just do 1 meal a day but sometimes were busy and skip it, trying solids for us is just more fun, then a source of nutrition right now. Do what feels right, you can't ruin them!

Thanks kchitica! She's on sweet potatoes this week. I just love watching her faces and how she's tasting all if these new foods. It's definitely a messy experience tho!

She's doing really good with the sweet potatoes. So far so good. I think next week I'm going to try peas. Let's cross our fingers lol
