Has anyone started solids yet?

Question

If so, how much do you give? What do you give? And do you give water?

Answer

I started solids with my little man! Our Pediatrician said not to fill him up on solids bc formula and breast milk has soooo much more nutrients but he can have little bits and tastes so for the last 3 days we tried purée carrots and he LOVES it!!! I give him a bottle of formula and about an hour later I do a few bites of his purée and he eats it pretty well

Answer

My guy is 18 weeks.

Our pediatrician told us to try 1 tbsp of oatmeal cereal 1-2x a day. So we mix the cereal with 4 tbsp of formula. He only takes a couple spoon fulls before being done with it and will drink 2-3oz of formula afterwards. In a week or so we’ll transition to veggies.

Answer

We started! We tried each different one for 3 days before switching to another to make sure there was no allergies. I started with vegetables and tried them first. He would just have a little for lunch and a little for dinner. I was told no water cause their kidneys can’t filter it correctly yet.

Answer

So far I’ve tried apple, homemade puréed blueberry (her FAVE) & carrots which she is allergic to...she broke out in hives, baby acne on her face after trying it. 
I give her as much as she wants until she’s over it so maybe 5 small spoonfuls lol. Doing it more to test allergies & give her a taste of feeding time. 
(I’m allergic to a lot of things to want to know early what her allergies are)

Answer

I give blended bananas to the baby
Also oatmeal with breastmilk inside 
Baby just took her first sips of water she’s almost 5 months￼￼￼

Answer

We started solids at 4 months after our doctor said we could. My son was beyond ready and so interested in food. He eats a whole can in a sitting and cries when its done so we follow up with a 4oz bottle. It fills him up for about 5 hours. We are only doing solids once a day but i think soon we will add a morning solid.

My son was 4 months on the 16th and we just tried sweet potatoes today! He seemed to like them but only had a few bites. So exciting to see him try different things 😍

Answer

We started at 4 months. I give my daughter her usual 4 oz bottle at and an hour later we do “supper.” She literally eats a whole jar of baby food and would eat more if I let her. We did vegetables first: peas, green beans, pumpkin, squash, carrots, sweet potato. Next we are doing fruits: prunes, bananas, peaches, apples, pear. Her dr even said if there’s something that I eat I could mash so she could safely eat it go ahead and give to her but I’m scared to give her anything out of the ordinary lol I thought about giving her some yogurt but I havent yet.

Answer

No water, I tried bananas and spinach which have been successful! I'm trying carrots and avacado this weekend.
