First baby food?

Question

I plan on slowly integrating foods after at least six months. My baby girl is ebf but will probably be ready when she is 6 months for foods. What is the easiest foods to digest? Rice cereal? Brands? One with a probiotic? We have been giving baby probiotic drops and they are amazing. She poops like five times a day though💩. Any advice or recommendations for first baby foods would be wonderful!👶🏻

Answer

I'm starting the day my baby turns 6 months. My ped recommends starting with veggies first so I think I might do sweet potato. My baby also poops 4 times a day and is breastfed. No probiotics though, just a frequent pooper!!

Answer

We started baby food at 4 months per our pediatrician's recommendation. His first food was sweet potatoes, Gerber brand. I quickly switched to Beechnut. The Gerber food seemed a lot more watery than Beechnut. I also buy avacados and bananas and make homemade baby food for him (add a little lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown). We skipped the rice cereal because he didn't like it and it didn't seem necessary. When we first started I fed him 1/2 jar every morning. Then 1/2 jar in the morning and 1/2 jar at night. Now he gets 1 jar in the morning and 1 jar at night. He loves his food :)

my baby will be 6 months on the 7th so i gave her a few bites of mashed up sweet potato last night and she loved it! i think good first foods are sweet potatoes, avocados, bananas, peas, pears...theres some more too, you can google....you can just take the food, blend it up with some bm, formula or water and boom! yummy puree thats perfect for babies!

Answer

I started a week after he was 4 months old since his dr said it was ok. I gave bananas first in the morning after nursing. He loved them and didn't spit them out. He will eat anything even vegetables non stop if I let him I think. He's never refused any food except for when his 2 teeth popped out at 5 months. I skipped the rice cereal/oatmeal after researching it. He's also Ebf and now gets 2 meals a day morning and lunch/afternoon.

Answer

Here's a question related to this topic - when you start solids, do you just start with once a day after nursing/bottle? And how much do you feed?
