4m old starting foods?

Question

Want to start my daughter on solids. Avacados, Pears, Bananas. She's almost 4.5months. Anyone start baby on foods this early? She weighs almost 18lbs on breastmilk already.

Answer

I don't think it's recommended yet.

Answer

My dr gave me the go ahead to slowly start my girl at 4 months on a list of foods including the ones you mentioned. She sits up, is very interested, and even tries to feed herself! We just try a little bit once a day on most days. Just a few teaspoons to give her exposure, and then we'll slowly bump it up in a couple more months. She's had no sensitivities or issues with it so far.

Answer

Some recommend it at 4 months but its really up to baby if they are ready. You'll know when your child is ready. I'm starting at 4 month, next week. He's reaching for food and opening his mouth when food is near. He's getting ready

Answer

I don't remember starting food that early only cereal. Plus it is helpful to start veggies before fruit or they refuse veggies after they get the sweet taste.

Answer

I started those at 6 months for gut development and the gag reflex is further back so they tend to not struggle as much.

Answer

Start with oatmeal/rice cereal first. Then do double grain. Once you do a couple weeks of this, to get baby used to eating with a spoon, you can start single pures. I started cereal with my first at about 4.5 months and plan to do the same with my second.

Answer

Answer

Answer

What to expect the first year is a great book to read to on every month to the first year!

Answer

I've read parents can start 4-6 months but you want them to be able to have visible signs of readiness.  Supporting own head is a big one.  For my son, he would try and reach for the things I was eating or drinking so I tried to give him solids then ( he was about 4 1/2mo).   It didn't quite work out since he pushed it out with his tongue ( another sign of readiness).   By about 5 months he did way better.  I suggest giving LO the spoon to play with first if they are not quite ready.  Good luck! It's messy sometimes lol.
