Did you start solids at 5 months?

Question

My little dude doesn’t seem ready for solids yet but I was just curious.

Answer

My LO is 98% in height and 95% in weight sooo needless to say we started solids right at 4 months. He eats a lot! At just over 5m now and he eats approx 30oz formula a day and 3 solid meals 2-3oz each. His favorite is sweet potatoes and carrots. 🤗 Sleeps through the night most nights and is a big boy!!

Answer

I was wondering this too cause it seems like a lot of people have started already. So I asked my doctor at his 4 month shots & she said it is better to wait till 6 months. So that’s what we’re doing.

Answer

Nope. 5 months this coming Tuesday and no intention of starting yet. Really want to hold out to as close to 6 months as possible.

Answer

Yes but I think she's mostly wearing them and practicing using her tongue, not using it to replace any meal.

Answer

If you don’t think he’s ready I would wait. I started my son once a day trying some at 4.5 months because he would open his mouth and lick his lips when he saw me eating, and he also is a supported sitter. Just do what you think is best, food before one is for fun so you really don’t have to push it for a while!

Answer

At 4

Answer

I am waiting until 6 month as suggested but doc even if I have a big boy but she also suggested to start play so I am giving a spoon a day since 5 months so I can roll out allergy and get him used. He loves it but I am limiting to super small quantity.

Answer

Yes. But really slowly and we don’t even do it every day. Oat cereal and yams so far and we plan to add banana avocado and carrot over the next few weeks. It’s really just to get them exposed a little bit. And I want to do veggies and fruits before we start the allergens at six months. Our dr said it’s fine to start if they are interested, and sitting well

Answer

Started my son at 4 months , he’s a pro with it now, loves his gerber rice

Answer

I don’t think there is anything magical about turning a certain age. Just wait until he hits all the readiness markers 😊
