When do you introduce solids ?

Question

4 or 6 months ?

Answer

Six months. Because most major health organizations recommend waiting until then. More and more research is starting to show that six months is best. Four months seems to be becoming a more old school recommendation.

Answer

We started at 4 but only because my daughter had low weight and the pediatrician wanted us to start so she could gain weight (I breastfed). If I ever get pregnant again and there’s no reason to start early I’d start solids at 6 months! They grow up WAY too fast already!

Answer

I did at 4.

Answer

Most authorities on the subject recommend 6 months of now, there are a list of skills they should have mastered before they are ready to introduce foods but I can’t find the link!

Answer

6 months. We were given the okay at 4 months (pediatrician) but decided to wait until she met all the signs of readiness.

Answer

6 months if baby is ready.

Answer

We started introducing one thing at a time at 4 months. Research suggests introducing potentially allergenic food before 6 months reduces the chances of food allergies later on, so we started giving her those first.

Answer

This is what I was told by the organisation that looks after mums and new babies in the country I live in - no earlier than 4 months as baby’s kidneys and digestive system can’t process it earlier than that. 6 months is the ideal age but they say to take advantage of when baby is showing interest. That could be any time from 4 months. It was about 5 months when my daughter began trying to intercept spoonfuls of food and began to watch me eat so that’s when we started

Answer

Depends on if you baby is ready. My sister was ready for baby food at 4 months
