Solids?

Question

When are you guys introducing food? Like purées or cereals. I read mixed things some say 4-6 months and some say only after 6 months snd some say when they start being interested. 
I think my lo is starting to get interested so just wondering your guys plans or thoughts

Answer

Our pediatrician recommends to start solid food after 6 months.

Answer

We started at exactly 4 months. Only 2-3 spoons 2 times a day. Repeat the same fruit or vegetable at least 3 days so you can see if your baby has any allergies to certain foods. Also you are getting your baby used to different flavours. Btw, this was all recommended by our peditrician. When you start at 4 months, solids are suposed to be in addition to milk and not instead of.  We already tried carrot, pumpkin, pear, banana and peas.

Answer

the general rule in ireland is not before 17 weeks, not later than 26 weeks (so between 4-6 months). it is also recommended to wait until closer to 26 weeks if breastfeeding. my lo is now 18 weeks, and we stared trying out bits of purees and baby rice. once a day, just a bit for her to explore new tastes and textures along with her bottle. 
so far done baby rice and carrots. today will try sweet potatoes 😄

Answer

I’ll start around 5.5-6 months as that’s the recommendations here in Australia! My little one can’t sit up unaided yet and still has the tongue thrust reflex although interested in food

Answer

We tried cereal today for the first time at 18W 3D. He loved it! Pediatrician said to thicken the cereal over the course of a week and a half/two weeks until it’s as thick as a purée, then go ahead with purées introducing a new one every few days.

Answer

If you wait for your child to sit up you might be waiting a while as everyone's kids different,  my eldest was weaned at 5 and half months under the advice of a dietician (specialist) he could hold his head but couldn't sit unaided, he was having 9oz bottles every 1-2 hours it wasn't enough for him he was constantly starving and based on been hungry all the time the specialist said to start solids he didnt sit unaided till 9 months old nearly!
My youngest will be 5 months on 6th August hes currently 18 weeks 6 days hes already trying to sit up and has 8oz every 3 hours but unless advised by a dietician I won't wean till 6 months which is safer xx

Answer

I started feeding my baby purées at 4 months with docs ok of course. It’s just for trying things and not to make him full. He’s doing amazing with it so far. He was already showing signs of interest.

Answer

We’ll start hard munchables for oral exploration around 5 months and begin combo feeding around 6 months

Answer

Depending on milestones. Can sit well with little support, tongue thrushing. With my first we introduced at 5 months with breastmilk mixed with cereal. But really not with pureed food till 6 months

Answer

My pediatrician said my daughter would be ready for solids once she starts sitting up. She’s almost there but she is definitely ready to try foods but I want to make sure she can keep it down.
