When to start babyfood?

Question

So the pediatrician recommends to start baby food around 6 months. My baby is about to be 4 months and alot of people tell me to start giving her baby food at 4 months. When did you start giving your little one baby food? Is 4 months too early?

Answer

I gave my first food around 3-4 months. My second wanted food early as well but we didn't really try to introduce it until 8 months. First was formula fed, second was breastfed. Women will tell you about open gut, but I never had a problem with either of my girls. The night my second was born, my husband gave her some mashed potatoes. So I think your 4 month old will be fine. :) it's your choice! :)

Answer

We started trying puree foods at 4 months per our pedi but didn't seriously start feeding her meals until 8 months and didn't start trying non-purees until 9-10 months.

Answer

You can give her baby cereal at four months. No nutritional value really lol but it will help her stay full longer and sleep well at night. Actual food at 6 months.

Answer

4-6 months is the recommendation. I'm a rule follower, so we started at 6 months, but didn't get serious about it until 8 months.

We did Baby Led Weaning. It SO much easier than purées and baby food.

Answer

6 months. I started with pureed veggies and fruits, I did the cereals with my first and they made him constipated so with my second I avoided cereals. It did not help either of my kids sleep through the night despite what others said, if anything it upset their tummies.

Answer

When my daughter was 2.5 months I was eating cocoa wheats and she showed interest in my spoon so I gave her a tiny bite and she loved it! I didn't seriously get in to it though until 4 months. We started with pureed fruits and veggies and then at 6 months when her dad and I got married at the reception her Aunt Julie gave her a small piece of cake and she did perfectly so we got a food mill and ever since she eats scrambled eggs, noodles through the mill, some meats will mill easiest is shredded chicken. I don't buy alot of baby food mostly the Gerber Lil Bits fruits and veggies because I don't always have fruit and don't always make veggies and it's just easier and she really likes them.
