Has anyone started introducing solids yet?

Question

My baby is 17 weeks old but I feel he's needing more than just milk now. We've been giving him a tablespoon of babyrice before bed which is helping. I would have liked to wait until 6 months but I am going to try and wait until 5 months before I start introducing fruit & veg. He is around 16lbs so milk is not sustaining him.

How many weeks did you start to introduce solids?

Answer

Milk should be enough for him for quite some time, from what I have learned, solids up until a year old should only be used to introduce babies to texture and flavor, not for the calories. Babies still need a minimum of 25 oz of breast milk or formula until a year old.  :)

Answer

My son is 4 months old my pediatrician told me to start on solid foods.

Mornings : breast milk , oatmeal and fruit
Afternoon: veggies, water 
Evenings: breast milk, rice cereal and a fruit
In between he gets milk and during nights.

I write everything down what he eats and date/time
I do one fruit or veggie at a time to see if he has an allergic reaction.  My son was ready for solid foods and he is a great eater.

Answer

Nope not yet, she is interested and starting to supposed herself sitting up on her own. However I'll wait 1 more month just till she can do it on her own for a long period of time. 
I can't wait though, I'd like more sleep at night although I'm not sure my oldest slept more bc of it
