What foods should I start with when its time?

Question

Girls, help me out plz... When it's time to start foods on my baby as he is just 4 1/2months within days but when it's time to start solids what do I start with? My peds said cereal isn't needed but I'm finding this really hard to understand why it's not needed, she explained it's basically empty calories 🤔🤔🤔okay then there's the question what comes first veggies or fruits???? I know start a solid for at least three days before introducing something else, but here's my issue I don't know what to begin with. Avacado maybe? Carrots? Or a fruit? If I do decide cereal what have you ladies started with rice, oatmeal? I'm worried about constipation as my baby is on nutragimen formula. Ughhhh soooo many options. Can you tell me your routine with your lil angel. Nervousssss mommy here😂😂😂😂

Answer

I’m doing baby led weaning when he’s ready. He is almost 6 months so it will be soon. I did purées with my daughter. She liked them at first. Then hated them for months. So I’m not wasting my time this time. I’ll prob start with things like banana and sweet potato. Green beans and carrots. Strawberries and scrambled eggs He will eat what we eat once I rule out allergies.

My bunny is 4.5 weeks, so far she's eaten sweet potatoe (her favorite), prunes, and apples (not a fan). We try a couple baby spoons of it, if she's not interested we stop. She pretty much takes the spoon from us when she's really into it, and swipes at it when not. I breastfeed her first and then try food. Usually I feed her while we eat dinner. Our doctor said veggies or fruit it's up to us just wait the 3 days and don't over feed....the poop changes, nobody told me that. And man it changes 😭 lol.

Answer

I recommend veggies first! We did rice cereal for a few weeks first though, just to get my LO used to eating, but then we did broccoli, carrots, sweet potato, butternut squash(her favorite!). We started with just a few spoonfuls but now at 5mo my daughter will eat about 1/8 cup! We just follow her cues

Answer

My LO is 5 months and she is very curious about the foods that we eat and will whine if she isn’t eating something with us. I started with carrots. She’s also ate sweet potato, butternut squash, I’ve given her small pieces of pancakes, biscuits, hash browns, refried beans, and mashed potato before. Obviously not large pieces and just small amounts. We don’t do it everyday with her it just depends on her interest.

Answer

FTM here. I started my baby on solids at 4 and half months. But haven’t really been doing it every day. My dr said it doesn’t matter if u start with fruits or veggies. My dr also said cereal wasn’t needed. I started with veggies. I made some carrots and blended them. I’ve only been giving him a couple tablespoons a day. Usually when I eat dinner. If i see he’s not showing interest i stop. I’ve also given him peas and bananas.
