When does your pediatrician recommend starting solids?

Question

Answer

So our doctor said things along this line. 
Those guidelines that supposedly show when a baby is ready (like leaning into food, good head control) is for 6 months and up. Because babies may not always be ready at 6 months. No matter what signs your baby is showing on the outside, their gut is just not fully developed and ready for other things aside from breastmilk or formula before 6 months. Major damage can be done. Food allergies, gut problems etc. 
My baby shows interest when I put my makeup on. That doesn’t mean it’s time for her to start wearing makeup!
I don’t mean to sound harsh. I just don’t know why people are in such a hurry to give baby food, when it could (obviously not always) harm them in the long run. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Even if your baby has great head control and can sit up by himself, he may not be ready for solids. Babies have to develop their tongue and mouth muscles to swallow from a spoon. 
I went to workshop yesterday that talked about introducing solids to babies. 
Start off with a rice or oat cereal, add in breast milk and give that a try. You’ll notice quickly if your baby is interested or just playing.

Answer

My pedi dr said that we will discuss solids at our 4m apt. Even tho our apt is dec 11th and he just turned 4m this past sunday, I know he isnt ready for it because there are certain milestones he must reach before he is ready. I'm not sure if he is behind or not but I definitely know he isnt ready. Maybe in 2 more months he will be.
Here is a snap of what I've read.

Answer

Mine says 4m for very liquidy oatmeal
