When did you start solids (formula fed baby)?

Question

They recommend starting with pureés and fruit juices at 4 months here, but that seems a bit too young imo, so I thought I'll start with juices when my son is 4,5 mo old (3mo currently), and try pureés at 5 months. Is it ok? Or should I wait longer?

Answer

Careful with picking juices: commercial juices are packed with sugars and additives.

I tried a few days at just after 4 months. Gave LO a couple of tastes of banana and avocado but her tummy didn't really respond well to it. She is 5 months now and I will wait until 6 months or so. I'm considering baby led weaning.

Answer

We started rice cereal a week ago. My baby is 16 weeks. Look for the cues that they are ready.. Watching food closely and smacking lips ect. Every baby is different. Doc says its ok and recommends starting veggies and fruits at 4 months.

Answer

Started my son at 5 months, he's now 6.5 months and is eating pretty much what we eat. He loves it!

Answer

In the uk they say 6 months but my son was quite a big baby and he seemed ready at 5 months. I started with some organic baby cereal and he started sleeping through the night once he was on solids so that was lovely ☺️😴😴
