Solids at 20 weeks?

Question

Has anyone started their LO on solids or thinking about starting way before 6 months?? 
My LO is showing all the signs of being ready and I’m considering starting some purées even though I was wanting to do baby led like I did with my daughter.

Answer

I’m planning on trying baby-led with our LO (shes our first) so we’re waiting till 6 months 😊 only 1.5 months to go 😆

Answer

Pedi totally ok’d giving solids at our appt. I actually already started them before. My daughter was showing signs of readiness, (support sitting, watching bus eat, mimicking chewing.) I gave her some avocado and she loves it. She’s also had bananas and sweet potatoes. Next is butter nut squash.

Answer

I started this week with blw. My daughter is 19 weeks. She hasn’t quite got the ability to lift the avocado (her first food) to her mouth but that didn’t stop her from leaning forward to eat it straight off the tray or our hands

Answer

I knew my son was ready when he snatched fries from my plate and quickly put it to his mouth lol 😂

Answer

I was planning on waiting until 6 months, but he was really interested and pretty ready at a little over 4 months. I don't do purees, but not quite blw yet. I like to think its a soft start to blw. I put chunks of banana and whole strawberries in one of those Popsicles with holes in it that they can chew on, but they can't break off whole pieces. And he loves chunky mashed potatoes. He does really well with mashed fruit as well.

Answer

My daughter is 4 months (20 weeks) and she shows all the signs! She tries to pull our hand toward her mouth. She opens her mouth and tries to launch herself into our plates 😂 but we’re choosing to wait until she’s 6 months.

Answer

Our pediatrician gave us the green light to start cereal and purees at 4 months! He said all signs were there and he is super strong sitting and controlling his head and neck. So we started 3 days ago with happy baby oatmeal cereal and my son just went for it! He loooved it. We'd never tried a spoon with him before and he opened his mouth and went right for it. My point is, when they're ready, they're ready!

Answer

I want to start him on purées at 4 months just cause I’m so excited for that new phase, but I really want to do BLW so I’m sitting on my hands until 6 months!!

Answer

Totally off topic but I love his outfit. Where did you get it? Also I'm thinking of asking my sons pediatrician aboit starting my son on food at his 4month appointment on Monday.

Answer

We started solids at 19 weeks. She's had sweet potato and mango (grown by dad).
