When are you starting purees?

Question

My research and discussions with my doctor show it's beneficial to start at or after 6 months, to avoid rice cereal, and to start with pureed veggies to avoid them only wanting the sweetness in fruits.
What are you mama's doing?
Also, are you making your own purees or is there a brand you trust?

Answer

I’ll be making my own baby food, but when I’m on the go without access to homemade food I plan to use Hipp or Holle baby food. I’ve also heard it’s good to start with broth (chicken or beef). I also need to talk to my pediatrician about timing and what’s acceptable to feed. I’ll probably skip cereals/grains and go straight to veggies. Apparently some French families start with meat!

Answer

We are starting at 4 months both cereal and purees she has reflux and the dr thinks it will help her to gain weight and notspit yo as much

Answer

we are starting baby led weaning at 6 months...so no purees for us at all, just straight on to real food!

Answer

I meant to vote 6 months! We’ve gotten the go ahead from dr to start cereal but I’m hold that until 5 months. Just taking everything super slow :)

Answer

Doc told me to start her on veggies at 4 months and she’s taking it well

Answer

My Ped said start basically with whatever we want (avoid rice cereal) He said it’s a myth about avoiding fruit or sweet food until later because breast milk and formula is sweet so it’s no different. I also read that in some parenting article somewhere as well.

Answer

We just had our 4 month Dr apt. We were given the go ahead to start w veggies. No fruit until 6 mos to avoid the sweet tooth.
