What month did your baby start to eat baby food?

Question

When do you recommend starting? My son turns 4 months in January and I just want to be prepared. I’ve heard you can start baby cereals and things like apple, pear, and etc baby foods but I’ve also heard you shouldn’t start until 6 months. I will also be asking his doctor on what they think.

Answer

The pediatrician cleared him for food at 6 months, so that’s what we did :) we didn’t do any baby cereals as they don’t add any nutritional value and just fill the baby with empty calories that could be filled by healthier things

Answer

Dont start until your babies doctor gives you the okay. There are certain milestones that need to be hit before starting solids

Answer

My pediatrician started us at 4 months. Though he made it clear that the goal is not to really get food into her, so much as to get her familiar with the spoon and to give her system a chance to acclimate in the hopes of avoiding the development of food allergies. We're starting with thin veggies pureed with breast milk. She's had peas so far. I think she may have gotten a teaspoon full actually in her, but she was having fun with it and so far no reactions.

Answer

you shouldn't start until 6 months. baby should be able to sit up and be curious about foods (watching you eat and grabbing at your plate). also, I would start with veggies instead of fruits

Answer

I tried at 6 months as recommended by the pediatrician but my son wasn’t interested. He wouldn’t eat anything but breastmilk/formula until 10 months.

Answer

We started a week or 2 shy of being 6 months. Skipped cereals and went through all the veggies, 3 days apart for each and then did fruits.

Answer

Most drs say wait till 6 mo. That’s when I started real food. And my sons pedi said it’s better to start them off with veggies instead of fruits so they don’t become picky to sweet foods. Idk how true it is but it worked with my son. He likes everything.
