4 months and foods?

Question

My daughter turns 4 months on the 24th. I heard i can slowly start cereals or some foods. What kind of foods did you guys start introducing at this point, if any? I’d ask my pediatrician but i honestly don’t trust them because at my daughters 2 month appointment they told me i can start giving cereals which in my opinion is way too young idk lol 🤷🏼‍♀️ i was sure i would definitely wait until at least she was 4 months old.

Answer

I wouldn't start them on food unless they seem to be hungry more often.  I Wouldn't START THEM ON CEREALS!! ID DO VEGGIES LIKE AVOCADO AND Sweet POTATOES BANANAS. NOT CEREAL!!

Answer

6 months us the updated guidelines according to AAP & WHO. skip cereals altogether. just give foods. we plan to do baby led weaning

Answer

Pediatricians say “you CAN start solids” not “its recommended and what is best for their health”. And honestly it’s because so many parents are in some kind of weird desperate hurry to shove food down an infants throat so peds are like ok ok, do it.

Answer

Wait until 6 months, skip the cereals and give actual foods. Look up baby led weaning. Pediatricians actually recommend it, IF your baby shows interest in food. We did it with our daughter and she’s always been a great eater because of it. 
Do not start your baby on food before they show interest in it. Which is why you should wait until 6 months. It’s usually when babies start showing interest.

Answer

We started with rice cereal. Then did squash first, then pears. Just make it yourself, it’s way better.

Answer

Both my kids have been started on solids by 4 months because they were ready. We have had zero issues. Do what you think is best for your baby, no one knows them better than you. Some babies can wait till the 6 month mark, and some can’t. Apparently I just breed eating machines.

Answer

4 months is still far too young and you absolutely beed approval first. Babies guts just aren’t developed enough at 4 months and they’re not as able to process and digest food at that age. And cereals are no longer recommended as they offer no nutritional value. We started baby led weaning at 6 months so we skipped puréed foods altogether.

Answer

I started my son at 4 months. Some baby foods say 4 months on it, I think earths best is what we used until we got to 6 months. I think it’s just some fruits & vegetables. I wouldn’t introduce cereal yet. Introduce only 1 food at a time in case of allergies
