6 months exactly and we started with home made purees

DS is 5 months and a couple of days and we've just started giving him some tasters ober the weekend but so far he's not very interested. I think we'll do a mix of purees and BLW.

We started at 5 1/2 months old and his first food was avocado. Followed by apple slices. We started meat at about 6 months old. We gave him big pieces of meat and he just kind of sucked on them. We started with chicken breast and bacon.

He had a shallow gag reflex and tongue thrust. So, he was very able to handle the food just fine. We have had a few times he gagged but he has never choked.

I am attaching some pictures of him and food.

At about 4 1/2 months we started cereal and purees came closer to 5 months. She LOVES carrots, and likes the other foods we've tried. We started with the orange veggies and are on green now. Next up is avocado, peas and green beans. I'm going to try and work some lentils in here too. My pedi said no meat until 6 months so I figured lentils would be a good protein source. I'm trying to hold off on fruit until we've though our veggies. I'm afraid once she tries the sweet stuff it will be all over for the veggies.

We started at 5.5 months. I wanted to do a mix of purees and BLW, but the mess of BLW stresses me out. So we're sticking with purees for now.
