Anyone still waiting on foods ?

Question

We’re still waiting (almost 6 months) but I’m so so tired of the comments on how he “needs” food right now.  Anyone else waiting yet?  I figured I’ll start sometime in the next 3-6 weeks but he seems fine and content on breastmilk right now so I don’t see it necessary quite yet.

Answer

Still waiting here too. My little guy is 5.5 months so we will start soon enough. He is becoming a little more interested in food and is sitting up well, but he also seems content just with nursing. I'm not in a rush unless he starts becoming a lot more interested all the sudden before these next couple weeks are up.

Answer

We waited despite all the comments from family which really wound us up! Was hilarious when we started, only been doing it a few days but she has NO interest yet in swallowing any of the food and finds it all quite disgusting 😂

Answer

Mine will be 6 months soon so waiting till then

Answer

Doctor was very adamant on waiting until the recommended 6 months, and we were on the same page. He's so interested in food and gets mad when we eat in front of him, but he's doing just fine EBF so he can wait a few more weeks!

Answer

We waited until 6 months (and 2 days, lol) to start BLW.

Answer

We were told to wait until six months unless he showed he was interested in food. At around 5 months he started grabbing for everything we were eating. We have only done cereals and green beans so far. None of them he really liked or was excited about after it got in his mouth. 😂

Answer

She’ll be 6 months on the 24th and we still only use formula. Planning to slowly start BLW at the end of the month.

Answer

Starting at 6 months

Answer

Depends on the baby and trusting your instincts on when to start. There's nothing wrong with waiting so don't let anyone tell you any different! 
We started pretty early since he showed A HUGE interest in food. Any time we ate in front of him (even still) he watches every bite so closely, drools even more than he already does and cry's for food. We started with baby food once a day and we bumped it up to two times not too long ago. 
He does so great with it and absolutely LOVES his food. ♥️

Answer

There's nothing wrong with waiting. Some exclusively breast feed for a full year - your LO will still get all the nutrients they need despite what some naysayers say.  Read Dr Newman's vook on breast feeding. It's very eye opening.
We started our son on foods a couple weeks ago so that we can build up to him eating more since I'm going back to work in a few weeks. It will just make it easier for my husband to feed him.  He turned 6 mos feb 2.  He'll get a combination of breast milk and foods until he's a year. And i would still like to breast feed at least once a day if i can.
