Solids?

Question

Anyone else starting solids this month? Veggies and fruit? Cereal?

Answer

Waiting until six months as recommended by the World Health Organization. Any pediatricians recommending anything before six months, rice and oatmeal included, is going based off of old standards.

Answer

Waiting till 6months. See absolutely no reason for soilds befor then its just for fun basically and to add weight to baby as breastmilk and formula is a complete meal for them.

Answer

My sons been eating purée fruit and veggies

Answer

Our dr recommended waiting until she can sit up unassisted and when she starts getting frustrated that we aren’t sharing. She said babies do not need anything but breast milk (or formula) until 6 months.

Answer

We've already started...she loves it! Opens her mouth for the spoon and even tries to grab the spoon and feed herself.

Answer

Peds told us we can start rice cereal..but I am planning on waiting until 6 months unless my son is ready. He isn't interested in food quite yet

Answer

My pediatrician suggested we start feeding green foods to baby such as green peas, green beans, spinach, & lentils. He said mash them up, put some on your finger, and let baby taste it. You're not really "feeding" at this point because many babies still push with their tongue and therefore won't get much food down anyways. The thought behind this is that you start getting baby used to the flavor of some veggies early on. No fruits yet because baby will of course love sweet flavors and then it will be more difficult to get them to like veggies. Also, these green veggies have iron which is very important for baby. So again, foods as this point are more about exploration and discovery, and less about actual feeding. We'll start spoon-feeding solids at 6 months.

Answer

i started doing rice cereal and purée bananas this week for the past 2weeks my daughter has shown soo much interest in food when ever someone eats around her she stares and cries cuz we wont share soon as the spoon went close to her mouth she opened wide however i only do 3-4 small spoons (baby spoons) she loves it...my ped said we can start introducing new food flavors each week

Answer

I’ve got baby rice at the ready but my boy is showing no interest in food yet so I think I will wait until he starts to watch what we are eating/drinking or when I feel milk isn’t enough for him anymore.

Answer

My daughter has been eating oatmeal and barley cereal for about a week. Just once a day and not too much. My dr also said to mash up an avocado with breast milk but she didn’t like the consistency. Going to buy some jars of veggies tomorrow to try this week
