vegetables at 4mo?

Question

My pediatrician said that I can start giving my 4mo old daughter a few baby spoons of pureed vegetables once per day. She's in the 75th percentile for growth and shows curiosity for food. I'm just not sure how I feel about it. I have read so many conflicting things. What are your thoughts?

Answer

There's no benefit to starting before 6 months

Answer

My daughter started at 4 months and she loved every mouthful. But I wish I'd waited, because I don't think her digestive system was ready and she had some issues and tummy upsets. You could give it a try but be ready to stop if baby is not ready

Answer

My Doctor tried to get us at 4 months to start foods and while my baby was very interested and sitting unassisted, we ended up not actually starting till close to 6 months because she just had a hard time getting it. She's get food in her mouth but either would choke or it'd just end up down her front.
