Solids?

Question

So there is soo much info about when to start solids and I'd love to Hear your experiences.

I'm a FTM and my instincts are saying to start but people say wait.

My bubs is 4m 12days and was 10 days late.

She can sit on her own (not for long periods)

She is trying to grab my food when I'm eating

I EBF she eats every two hours during the day but lately has started wanting food every hour ( has been happening for at least a week now) so I'm thinking she may need something else?

HELP

I was like whoaaa child

Answer

It sounds like your baby is ready! I started solids with my son a week ago and he is 4 months and 12 days old. We do oatmeal cereal in the morning (1 tbs cereal, 4 tbs breastmilk or water) and then days later I added pureed carrots in the afternoon. I am really enjoying this next phase and look forward to making his food. At first I thought 4 months was sooo young to start solids but my son is in the 2nd percentile for weight and so we think this can only help him catch up!

Answer

I'm gonna start at 4 months my daughter is a strong supported sitter, she's a hair from crawling and she IS ALWAYS grabbing at my food! She's even put her mouth on my cup!!!!

Answer

I gave my son some avacodo today & he loved it! His doctor gave the green light on his 4 month appt. if you do introduce foods, introduce them every few days so in case of an allergy, you know which foods to avoid.

Answer

My pediatrician said I can't start cereal until 4 months...less than a week! Thank goodness because  she get mad watching me put food in my mouth! Lol. When I start cereal with my daughter, I plan on keeping it a little milkier to help her transition.

Answer

Start when your pediatrician tells you to. Usually that's at 6 months.

Answer

Start when you feel confident about it but know breast milk should still be the main source of nourishment for a year. Still nurse as often as you are or your supply will diminish 🙂
