Starting baby good a little early?

Question

Okay so I know everyone says to wait until 6 months for baby food but here lately my 5 month old has been getting really interested in food and doesn’t seem to be nearly as satisfied by his bottle anymore even after increasing the amount. We have an appointment with his pediatrician later and I’ll ask her about it but I’m just curious if any of you mamas have started a little early?

Answer

Yup we’ve been trying different purées since Ped gave the go ahead at her 4 mo appt

Answer

my pediatrician gave the ok at 5 months but both of my children had started tasting around 4 months. she also said to skip stage 1 foods and go straight into stage 2.

Answer

We just gave my LO a taste of avocado the other day, she is 23 weeks. She really enjoyed it and shows all signs of readiness. So I think we will just continue on with it and slowly start solids. If you start and baby isn’t happy with it then you can always stop and wait a little while. Good luck momma!

Answer

We tried at 4 months. It seemed like she wasn’t ready. She just kept spitting it out. So 2 weeks later tried again and she’s doing great. Just feeding her 1 meal a day at dinner and she will eat typically 2-4 oz of baby food. Definitely helping her sleep better too.

Answer

Almost 21 weeks and he eats just about every flavor I throw at him.  Been on cereal since just before 3 months and puree pouches from 3 and a half months.  Even had a crack at Vegemite toast the other day.  They let you know when they are ready.

Answer

Yup! My pediatrician actually disagrees with waiting until 6 months. She got cleared at her 4 month appointment and we started shortly after. She was super interested in food and met all the readiness signs. She LOVES it. Weve just done pureed veggies so far but she gets super excited when we put her in her high chair now since she knows shes about to eat. She even takes the spoon out of our hand to try and feed herself and grabbed the jar last night and tried to basically head dive  into it lol

Answer

My pedi gave ok at her 4 m appointment to give her solids, baby already tried sweet potato pure, sweet peas and banana .

Answer

We started at 4 months after her appointment when her doctor said she was meeting all the things they looks for. Its still more trying things here and there but just recently shes has gottten upset while we were eating so I started to make her some rice cereal or some kind of vegetable while we eat dinner. Shes alreafy opening her mouth for bites and want the spoon to do it herself!

Answer

Our pedi recommends 6 months but told me I can start her at 5 months.

Answer

We started at 4 months! Not as full meals but just testing to see what he likes. Now at 5 months he eats one can for supper after his bottle
