When to start weaning a baby?

Question

When did you start to introduce food to your baby? And what did you start with?

Answer

The AAP recommends at 6 months to start introducing puréed vegetables and then fruits. And my dr told me to have her try everything within 3 months. (Except for honey) My daughter loves avocados, bananas, papayas. We’ve also tried berries, carrots, zucchini, pears etc. Not a big fan of kiwi lol. I cook everything in a pan for a few min until it’s super mushy and then blend it with a handheld blender and then put everything in Tupperware for the freezer and get out 2 each day.

Answer

Six months per the recommendations. I waited until he could sit up and was showing interest. I made veggie purees for a few weeks, then went to fork mashed solids for a few more and then mostly finger foods. Avocado, roasted sweet potato and zucchini, steamed apple, whole milk Greek yogurt, oatmeal...these are all good early foods. You can purée, fork mash, or serve cut in strips that can be picked up by baby before the pincer grasp develops.
