My sons pediatrician told me that it’s a good time to start introducing solids once a day and gradually build it up to 2 times a day until he is 6 months. What kind of foods do you guys give your babies around this age? I wanna try making some homemade. I bought sweet potatoes, squash and carrots just don’t know what to season them with.

Lol be ready for everyone to tell you your Dr doesn't know what he's talking about. I wouldn't season them with anything quite yet ❤

She told me this on Friday. My son will be 5 months on June 7th so she told me to start a few weeks early.

I used sweet potato and avocado for first foods.

What @two.tiny.texans said , feeding a baby soilds before 6 months can cause stomach issues later in life
Ajaecymone··
What kind of stomach issues? His doctors did not tell me this.

I believe everyone is different but have you ever heard people having constant stomach issues later in life . This could be the reason why . Most drs don’t tell people this but do your research

You shouldn’t use seasons. Especially salt. Baby doesn’t need. Your child might not be ready to start solids so if they don’t show interest that’s ok don’t force it. Like pp said 6 months is a better age to start.

Yeah his pedi said if he doesn’t we’ll wait a couple more weeks.

we did sweet potato as a first food. Once you’ve tried multiple items and make sure he has no allergies I liked to mix other veggies in with the carrots and sweet potatoes to help get the taste but keep it kind of sweet.

I just do one fruit or vegetable at a time..
You will have to cook the vegetables first then put it in a food processor. Or you can just use the baby food for his age group. It will show you at the first of the package.

I would just wait until 6 months old and skip to BLW (baby led weaning)
We didn't season the foods just steamed the veggies and stuff. I would start with green veggies before squash or sweet potatoes because they will prefer them over the green veggies..
Well most kids lol

Some doctors give old advice. It’s best to wait til your baby is showing signs of readiness. Can he sit upright with little assistance and turn his head from side to side? Does he still have the tongue thrust reflex? If so, he will just push the food out with his tongue. And you don’t season foods for babies until after 9 months and only if they don’t have sensitivities.
I started both my kids at 5.5 months but they didn’t really catch on because of their tongue thrust reflex. It was about 8 months by time they were eating purées. My son only had purées for about a month then at 9 months we gave him whatever we were eating. Every baby is different.

Wait till 6 months and you don’t need to season them with anything.
