How have you ladies incorporated solids?

Question

What does your baby get for solids each day?

Answer

I started with Gerber 1st foods. Bananas pears and apples. Then I gave him avocado, carrots and green beans. I started him on organic oatmeal every morning mixed with breast milk. He loves everything so far but especially likes his morning oatmeal. 
Soon I'll be starting him on pureed meats as well. It's actually recommended by WIC here that you start with meats but I already had him on veggies and fruits before I knew this.

Answer

My lil dude has been eating solids for a few weeks, he gets mushed up (but not puréed) fruits, veggies, meats etc. So far he’s had: salmon, butternut squash, peas, sweet potatoes, blueberries, raspberries, banana, avocado, noodles, oatmeal, watermelon, beets and tuna. He’s done really well and I’m surprised how well he can chew and swallow.

Answer

So you wanna start with simple foods. 1st foods. Like apples or bananas. I started with fruit. But you’re gonna wanna wait 3 days between starting one flavor before you introduce another that way you can monitor reactions, if any.

Answer

We are still just starting purées with my girl. She’s not very interested yet. She stares at me eating my food all day long though🤣I started her with homemade butternut squash, then went to carrots, then I tried oatmeal with breast milk, and now I’m on bananas. But I’m literally giving her like half a teaspoon once every day or couple of days. I honestly think she’s gonna do better with BLW, but I’m waiting till she’s 6 months(2/4) for that

Answer

Right now my son is 6.5 months old. He gets 1 oz if breastmilk, with one oz of fruit or veggies mixed in, with two tablespoons of oatmeal mixed in every morning and evening. 
I try and make sure his fruits and veggies are homemade and fresh but totally use the premade food when I’m in a hurry or don’t want to cook 😀

Answer

We started Kaley on multigrain oat and quinoa cereal first and then immediately moved to homemade purees. Shes had ppples, pears, bananas, squash, carrots, zucchini, sweet potatoes, peaches. At 5.5 months we started giving her puffs which she did great with so we moved on to peanut butter toast cut in strips with very light pb. Shes also had cut up banana and avocado (she wasnt a fan). We did a puree of chicken, carrots and apples the other day which she liked. I am going to start pureeing the food we eat for dinner or giving small pieces if we can.

Answer

We do baby led weaning, so just offer finger foods of whatever we’re eating. But always breast milk before solids. Milk or formula should be babies #1 source of nutrition for their first year.

Answer

Sometimes we offer what we’re eating, in whole form, not puréed. She’s barely curious yet.:.sometimes brings it to her mouth and sucks on it, sometimes not. 
We try to at least do purées twice a day and Whole Foods once a day.
For purées we do eggs, carrots, peas, cauliflower/potato. (Not all mixed together).
Her favourites so far are peas. She like...breaks the high chair tray leaning forward to get her mouth on the spoon.
