When did you mommy's start letting your baby's taste food? Taste is the keyword not eat. I have a west Indian background and we usually start to let our babies taste different foods early after 4 the month mark and then we allow them to start eating foods around month 5.

@williamsl.miesha, To even take a Masters in Science of Nursing you have to already have a bachelors...you have to already have completed the 4 year program and then the masters is another 2 years on top of that. So....sorry your clearly not even aware of what your saying..
@spookylyn remember, humans are created differently depending on location. They defy physics, they have different science.
what did you do to start your baby on the first step of tasting baby food? how did you get them to like the taste ? we want to let him taste it once a week so we can start it when he's 4 months
When did you guys start letting your baby taste things off your finger? For instance, dipping your finger in apple juice and letting them taste it. My son will be 4 months old in a few days. And while I'm not ready to start baby food, I would love to just let him taste some things. I looked online, and everyone seems to disagree on this. What is okay to let my baby taste and what do I stay away from?
Damn Af i guess its a start for a better month...CD1 for me

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.
We finally did it after 10 months!!!!
Science and facts say 6 months minimum and all signs of readiness. This goes for all walks of life.
Solids are anything beyond breastmilk or formula. This includes: cereals, juices, purée, etc.
Not only is 6 months an important milestone, but there are also other factors that should ALL be met before introducing: sitting unsupported, loss of tongue thrust, pincher grasp are huge. These ensure your baby isn’t at risk for, amongst other things, choking. Baby being interested is very low on that list. Babies are curious, babies mimic- this does not mean they are ready to eat.
Feeding solids too soon puts your child at risk for long term gut damage, obesity, diabetes, poor eating habits, chrons, IBS, celiacs, food allergies and more.
Also- remember, just because your baby has the ability to eat foods, they do not have the digestive enzymes to break down and process the nutrients. They will just eliminate them as waste and not get what they need. They need breastmilk and/or formula until 1 because of this.
“Well I fed mine at x age and they are fine”: you don’t know this unfortunately. These things aren’t seen until late teens and early adulthood. Will some kids be fine? Yes. Is it worth the risk? No. Once you know, it’s too late.
“My Pedi said so”: most pediatricians are not up to date on infant nutrition. The WHO and AAP say 6 months, if your pedi goes against that question WHY they’d go against the recommendation and research of their peers.
“My baby is hungry”: be sure you’re pace feeding. It should take 5 mins per ounce when done properly. This is because you don’t want to stretch their bellies and it also takes time for their hormones to trigger a “full” feeling. Then— feed baby more formula or breastmilk.
“My baby is advanced”: sure. We all think that. However, they can’t turn 6 months early. And for preemie mamas- this means 6 months adjusted.
“My baby has reflux”: cereal for reflux is an outdated treatment. It should be used as a last resort after all other options have been exhausted and all testing has been completed. And for those who argue there’s formula with cereal- no that’s rice starch not cereal. That’s a topping for later though.
Don’t believe me? Here are some links (including Canada and the WHO since location is sometimes brought up as an argument)
