When do you start giving your LO baby food?

Question

Answer

This is what we’re doing :)

Answer

Mine is 4 months and I started with baby food. He LOVES peaches and sweet potatoes! Helps with his bad reflux and also hopefully will get him off medicine!

Answer

Ill be starting with allergens some time before 6 months. New studies show introducing allergens like peanuts and eggs can DECREASE the risk of food allergies. I’ll likely start around 5 and a half months with some veg purées with allergens added in. Avocado with some peanut butter. Some bits of scrambled eggs. Wheat cereal instead of rice. I’m not sure how to do fish and stuff though.

Answer

The world health organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding (or formula feeding, if not nursing) for 6 months so that’s what we’re doing. I asked my pediatrician today if it was fine to wait on allergy introduction until 6 months and she said definitely, just don’t wait until after 1 year like we used to. So once he’s 6 months and showing all signs of readiness, we’ll introduce egg and peanut, and slowly start solids. His gut health is FOREVER, I am in no rush to feed him anything but milk.

Answer

Dr said when she has signs of being ready (ie reaching for our food when we eat) then we can start her on solids.

Answer

We started brown rice this week. We have been working with our babes acid reflux and solid foods will help us get off meds. Also, our darling stares and reaches for the food on our plates. Our strong girl is ready to eat with mom and dad!
