When would you start your baby on solids?

Question

The app is saying that my 20 week old should be ready for solid foods, but with all my other children I didn't introduce it until 6 months, and I read somewhere that starting at 4 months can cause problems because of the maturity of their digestion system, so I wondered what y'all would do compared to what everything else is telling me.

Answer

When all signs of readiness are met

Answer

We waited for signs of readiness. My oldest had basically all of them by 4 months. He could sit unassisted at 3m and was literally stealing food and shivering l shoving it in his face. He mostly just played with it while we ate, but it made for a better dinner experience for everyone.
My second took longer. She was a lot smaller than her brother and didn't really have an interest. She started right at 6m, which was Thanksgiving. It was the first time food interested her

Answer

I waited till 6 months, a d he was ready by then. My son was not ready at 4 months old.

Answer

It depends on the readiness of the child
I started around 4 and half months with 1 meal. By 5 th month 2 meal, ,6 months 3 meals and as he needed

Answer

I started at 3 months with little things my kids were ready they would follow my fork or spoon and lick thier lips when I'd eat so I started with some jar food and worked up from there my boys were eaters and still are I know some people who waited 6mths and some 4mths every baby is different

Answer

Baby 1 we started introducing it at 6 months  and they had no care until 7.5-8 months. Baby 2 will start at 6 months and is already very interested in food so don't think this one will be as picky lol

Answer

My SIL started her second on solids around 4 months because she had an undersupply of breastmilk and refused to supplement with formula (it was a pride thing and she really should have just given him formula) and he is skin and bones, since then they have struggled getting him to gain weight and he is always starving. His body just doesn't absorb the nutrients. We started my son on solids like 3 days before he turned 6 months. There is no reason to start at 4 months.

Answer

Food before 1 is just for fun. I introduced my first at 7m my 2nd at 6m and my 3rd at 9m

Answer

6 months is the earliest to introduce foods and even then it's a just for fun. They need formula/bm until a yr.
