solid foods?

Question

Just curious when you guys started introducing solid foods to your babies. I think the general consensus is 6 months but I’ve read that some babies are ready as early as 4 months.

Answer

After intense researching, I did six months with both of my children. There are no benefits and several risks to starting solids earlier than six months. My pediatrician gave them the "go ahead" at 4 months and despite them both being 90th percentile, I waited until six months.

Answer

You have a much higher likelihood of childhood and adult obesity if you introduce solids too early. 6+ months is best

Answer

At 3.5m my son was following every spoonful of for into our mouths and reaching onto our plates to grab food. I still waited until 4m to let him actually have some, and he didn't eat a lot at first. But he liked being included, I think. Plus our pediatrician said he's never liked being a baby. At 2m he'd rather be standing (with support of course) than laying on his back and he would fight you.

Answer

We just had our 4 month appointment and our pediatrician okd solids. I was going to wait until 6 months with the research I had read but she was very skeptical of that research and feels babies should start by 6 months not at 6 months. She went through some questions and determined she was more than ready to start food. I'm trusting my pediatrician over contradictory information on the internet so I went with 4 months.
