Did we start solids late?

Question

We weren’t entirely ready to do BLW at 6mo, so we’ve waited until LO was 7mo old and showing more readiness, but even now LO isn’t all that interested so we are taking it super slow, like maybe one meal a day...
Is anyone else in this boat?

Answer

I've read "food before one is just for fun!" No pressure, go with your baby's cues.

Answer

This is us too, I feel so late to the game and like we’re behind. We’re only doing purées and formula rn. I cut back on the purées a little too because he seemed to have a tummy ache the last couple of days.

Answer

Babies are supposed to get their nutrients mostly from milk up until their first birthday and until then solids are for exposure to the food so I wouldn’t worry too much. We are just starting very slowly too, with one very small meal per day.

Answer

My daughter just wasnt interested in food until about 10 months old and she wasnt a big eater until 13 months old.
She literally put things in her mouth and spit it out and them just play with the food until 10 months. I just continued to offer her meals but did pressure her or get upset if she wasnt interested.
We did BLW and im glad we did. My daughter is now 2 and she eats or at least tries everything we give her.
Some kids are slower starters than others.
My son is 7 months and he eats everything! He eats more than my 2 yr old daughter, and we do BLW so he eats what we eat. So much easier than making separate meals it also ensures we all eat healthy as we're all eating the same meals

Answer

I kind of feel the same way. My baby will be 7 months on the 19th and she's only had purees twice. I did let her taste some mashed potatoes last night at dinner. Everyone including the husband has been trying to push food but we've been going at our own pace.

Answer

Food before one is not just for fun. Just because it's on the internet and it rhyms doesn't make it correct.
