@kathleenc he seemed to take it fine spat it out at first then tried again and he took it sorry only just replying I'm not getting told when people comment xx
Like a few other said weaning isn’t recommended until 6months or over, and showing all signs of readiness. When you do start though start with vegetables rather than fruits. Fruit is obviously sweeter and has more sugar, and it may make it more difficult to then get them to eat vegetables because they don’t taste as nice to a baby.
The recommended is 6 months because early weaning can cause irritable bowl syndrome and other things. Its because there digestive system isn't ready for food yet..
We didn't do pouches, we did BLW at 6 months. But from my experience of weaning..
Make sure he's sitting unaided (not propped up by cushions or falling to the side in his highchair) he needs to have really good head control:)
I'd give it to him around an hour after his feed, as long as he isn't sleepy.
He honestly doesn't need much, a few spoonfuls will do, it's just for tasting at this age. My little one wasn't having three meals a day until just after his first birthday.
A really good saying to remember is - food before one is just for fun!
They really do not need it before they turn one, so don't stress out if he's not interested or doesn't take much x
I was told by my health visitor to make sure sure he’s not tired when feeding him. Also make sure he’s not starving either so give him a bottle about 1 hour before so he’s in a good mood. Make sure he can sit up unaided too. I started first in the morning offering it as a little breakfast after his bottle then as time went on added a lunch then a dinner by about 8 months old. If he spits it back out I was told he’s not ready for food yet. xx
@robynjadehamnett, yeah I’d say so. My wee boy wasn’t ready till just over 5 and half months xx
@kathleenc I'll try him no harm in trying is there xx
@robynjadehamnett, yeah there is harm in trying too early x
I’ve been giving my son half a pouch/jar
At about 12 so he would have had 2 bottles by then
I normally do it about an hour after a bottle for anything as my son suffers from reflux quite bad so it helps settle him abit
Make sure your little one is sat up enough and if it looks like he is ready for food if he don’t look ready then don’t try
He's been looking at my food and he's played with my friends packet of crisps too
@robynjadehamnett, my daughter and son was like that also
I started weaning my son the day before he turned 5 months and with my daughter she was 5 and half months
If you have a bouncer can it sit up so your sons in a up right position? But if you think he’s ready then have a go but careful as it might go through him if you try fruits
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.
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
He had a few spoonfuls of one it was sweet potato parsnip and mango
