Our sept. babies are almost 6 months.. this means solid food is coming closer.... what are your thoughts?

Question

Where does everyone stand when it comes to solid food? Have you already been contemplating on how you'll start, or looked for more info or just haven't thought about it yet?

Answer

Waiting til 6 months. Doing baby led weaning this time around. With my toddler I do not have the time to sit and spoon feed him like I did with her.

Answer

I’m gonna talk to the doctor at her 4mo appointment tomorrow about starting soon! She’s SUPER interested in food and I think she’d love purees. She gets this accusatory look when you don’t share your dinner with her, haha. 
I’m looking forward to starting her on solids because she is EBF and recently stopped taking a bottle at all 🙄🙄🙄 so I can’t even pump and have her daddy feed her. This mama is ready for a break!

Answer

My pediatrician said not to start any food until 6 months. He said if she’s gaining weight there’s no need for it. Also he mentioned starting early is linked to obesity in children.

Answer

We're going to start at 6 months. I'm super excited!! I think we'll try a pea puree first, or something non sweet.

Answer

Food before one is just for fun. No need to rush feeding solids. I usually wait for the first tooth to pop through before starting solids, and no grains until the first molar. (Molars signal the body creating amylase, which is the enzyme that breaks down grains for digestion).

Answer

We’ve been on solids for almost three weeks. Got the go ahead at his 4 month apt. He will be 5 months on the 29th.

Answer

I started at 3 months 🤷🏼‍♀️ she loves it and her drs totally fine with it 😊

Answer

My baby had her four month appointment yesterday at 4.5 months and her doctor gave me the go ahead to start introducing solids. I fed her rice cereal mixed with breast milk this morning and she loved it! I know it’s controversial and many people say its not good to start til 6 months but I know she’s ready. She can roll over, sit up unassisted and is VERY interested in food. Every since she was born she’s been ahead of her time, she’s thriving beautifully 💕

Answer

Gonna try cereal tomorrow. Got the OK from pediatrician 2 days ago. Gonna try anyway. Not she she’s ready yet 🤷🏻‍♀️we shall see. I’m nervous just cause it’s extra steps now. I already feel like there isn’t enough hours in the day lol. I wish her wake times were longer. Trying to squeeze in a shower and nursing her before I gotta get her to sleep is hard. Then to add in food is gonna be a challenge 😬

Answer

Starting my guy on solids on Monday! Just turned 4 months yesterday
