When does your baby...

Question

When does your baby typically sit up on their own? When do babies typically start to crawl? When Do  babys start baby food and solid food? Also when can you give them water and solid food just curious

Answer

Crawling and sitting up will vary on baby. My son crawled before he sat up, and walked by 8-9 months. 
Solids the best bet is 6 months as recommended by all major organizations. Some outdated peds will recommend 4 months because that was the old “normal”. When starting solids offer their normal bottle first, followed by food 20-30 minutes later. Formula/BM is still primary until 12 months.
Water begins at 6 months as well with solids, in small amounts. Preferrably in a straw, 360, or sippy cup to initiate a transition. Water still isnt important at that age, but it’s a good way to get them used to something new

Answer

My son sat up on his own at 4 months old and he is 6 months now & does the army crawl backwards. He is on solids now, 1 4 oz can of fruit a day with 2 oz water & 1 4oz can of vegetable a day with 2 oz water. He is 19 lbs so he is pretty big for his size so as you can tell, he eats well & a lot. He has 3 teeth (about to have 5) so he eats those snack puffs for baby. We started solids at 5 months but we got the ok from the doctor and we did one can of baby food for 4 days to make sure he didn’t have a allergic reaction & if he did, then we knew what it was from plus his digestive system needed to get use to it. We also give him 1/4 cup in the morning of baby cereal which we started that since he was 4 months old. I would talk to pedi before starting solids though. Also, I wouldn’t give water before 6 months old, we waited until 6 months old even though he had solids at 5 months old.

Answer

Our daughter was 4 months old when she was sitting up unassisted and she was crawling at 6.5 months. And we waited until 6 months to start solids and water. It's SO important to wait. There are zero benefits to starting sooner than that, even with doctor approval.

Answer

My girls sat on their own at 5-6 months. My oldest crawled at 9.5 months and my second crawled at 9 months. Oldest walked by 14 months second walked at 12 months. My oldest started solids at 4 months (she’s almost 7 and back then 4 months was ok for starting solids), I started solids at 5.5 months with my second but she quickly went to blw (she had like 4 teeth already too). They were both ebf for a little of a year and started water in a sippy cup by 6 months.
