when did you start your baby on food?

Question

My son is 4.5 months and we recently started solids. He LOVES his food and is a great eater. However the last week or so, he hasn't been sleeping at all at night and I'm not sure if it's food related. I'm exhausted and need some sleep. He's nursing every 2 hours around the clock!

Answer

They have a sleep regression at four months so that's probably what it is. Although they recommend you not to start solids until six months so it could be a tummy related problem but who knows. You could stop the solids for a few days and see if that helps. But it's more than likely it's the four month growth spurt. And to answer your question we aren't going to start BLW until at least six months. Probably a little later actually because she was born early so she hits some milestones a bit late . We will just have to see how ready she is by six months . One more month to go.!

Answer

It could be teething affecting sleep and just a coincidence it's happening at weaning time.

My dd wakes every hour and is off her food with teething but sleeps so well when she isn't after having had baby rice in the day.

Thankfully the 2 teeth are through now so no longer off her food!

Answer

Maybe its a growth spurt. 
Or it could just be his tummy getting used to the new food?

Answer

4 1/2 months.. we just started!
