What foods are you feeding your 4 month old?

Question

Hi moms, 
For those of you starting with puréed/solid foods, what foods are you giving your baby? 
Rice cereal? Fruits? Veggies? 
How much are you feeding baby per day ? When do you feel comfortable switching to the next type of food?

Please please comment below . FTM here and of course I'm a bit unsure of what to feed, when to feed what and how much at a time. My doc was very vague and my parents want me to feed baby all these things. I don't want to overfeed her .

Thanks 😬

Answer

Ella's kitchen. I don't know if you get them in the us but it's the only baby good that tastes how it should I've found. I use there small pouches of fruit for first tastes. Banana, prunes, mango, peaches etc. Then I purée batches of veg and pop them in ice cube trays to defrost as I need. Once first tastes are done and she eats regularly I just purée our meals. If it's curry I just add cream to hers to cool the spiceness.

I started my baby early. He only eats homemade baby food made by me. And he loves his solids. He just ate half and avocado the other night for dinner. Absolutely the best eater I've ever seen. Don't give babies cereal. Their stomachs can't process grain, it sits and rots in their bellies. Giving them future digestive tract problems. My baby isn't allergic to anything. So he enjoys his fruits and veggies. But you guys should stick to starter foods in the beginning and do the 3 day interval: bananas (without seeds)
Apples
Pears
Peaches
Avocados
Butternut squash
Sweet potato
Carrot
Green beans
Prunes

Once frozen pop out into dated freezer bags. Keeps for three months.

My pediatrician only recommends cereal from 4-6 months and then starting baby food at 6 months.

Answer

Earths Best organic peas once a day. He LOOOOVES them! Otherwise it's breastmilk. So far we have tried peas, green beans and sweet potatoes. He's loves the veggies. Tried bananas and pears and he doesn't like sweet stuff yet

Answer

I was told by my doctor when my daughter was 4.5 months to start with rice cereal twice a day I started with 1 tbs of cereal and 4tbs of milk my daughter likes it thicker so I put less milk in it im supposed to do that for 2 weeks then start introducing all the veggies twice a day she said stick with the same kind for 3-4 days incase of allergies (1 jar usually lasts 3-4 days so I switch after 1 jar) then introduce the fruits after I make it threw all of the veggies because if I start with fruits she most likely will shy away from the veggies because they are sweeter. Good luck I hope this helped! I know so everybody is doing something different but I feel like this was a good plan to start!!

Answer

I started my boy on milk and rice at about 3.5 months. I did just that for nice a day in the afternoon to keep him fuller longer. Since ten I have introduced fruits once a day, usually his second meal of the day. I have a baby bullet so I've puréed all of his fruits myself.

I was recommended that the baby should be calm and not too hungry before feedings. Try and give them a little milk first in either a bottle or by nursing so that they aren't starving when you sit them down. Then feed them the rice mixture. You don't want it to be too thick because that can constipate them. Make sure it's a soupy consistency and easily runs off the spoon. I did just rice And milk for about 11 days. 
The first fruit introduced was banana. I started with just a tiny bit (about half a tablespoon) of mushed banana in his rice and milk. Over all I think it was about 2 oz in his bowl. I always prepare more than enough in case he's really hungry. After a week onvansna I switched it up puréed apples, then pears the following week, then plums, and now we are going to try carrots as our first vegetable. I am also going to introduce a second meal in the evening since he's now nearly 5 months old. As it is I will give him a bit of frozen banana in one of those mesh teething feeders in the evening as a little treat for him and his sore gums. He loves it.
