An md you might be surprised; DS was grabbing for food too and seemed really interested but once we actually gave it to him he just wanted to play with it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-solids-later-than-6-months#post-1208090 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:42:42 +0000 Boheme 1208090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is really reaching for our food, so I think he will like it when we get started. He has gotten lightning fast, and has snatched avocado off my sushi, a quesadilla from DH, and splatted his hand down in some sour cream to try to eat it. We've caught him in time to take it away every time, but he is VERY interested! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-solids-later-than-6-months#post-1208083 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:40:00 +0000 Adira 1208083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried to start solids at 6 months and Xander just wasn't into it at all! It wasn't until closer to 7 months that we really got going! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-solids-later-than-6-months#post-1208071 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:37:00 +0000 Boheme 1208071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I hear you on the more work bit! I'm not looking forward to solids poop in CDs AT ALL! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-solids-later-than-6-months#post-1208068 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:36:26 +0000 Boheme 1208068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyMats: Sitting completely unassisted, loss of tongue extrusion reflex. He also still picks things up in a funny underhanded way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-solids-later-than-6-months#post-1208008 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:14:58 +0000 immabeetoo 1208008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I would've but DH was really excited. LO didn't care much until around 7.5m For Lo2 ill happily wait until then! It's just more work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-solids-later-than-6-months#post-1207976 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:05:36 +0000 LazyLightning 1207976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girl is about the same age as your little guy, @grizz: and she shows no interest. Guess we will let her lead the way. I had tried to give her a few things and she just cries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-solids-later-than-6-months#post-1207934 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 08:44:45 +0000 littlek 1207934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: We started around 7.5 months actual, 6 months adjusted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-solids-later-than-6-months#post-1207930 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 08:44:16 +0000 MsLipGloss 1207930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't start until 6.5ish months, closer to 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-solids-later-than-6-months#post-1207929 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 08:43:38 +0000 Revel 1207929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not there yet but my LO is not showing any real interest in eating yet. I figure a lot can happen in these few weeks leading up to six months, but I plan on waiting until she seems ready, even if that puts us past six months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-solids-later-than-6-months#post-1207804 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 06:34:53 +0000 petunia354 1207804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave him a little bit of puree at 6 months and decided he wasn't ready. We waited until his adjusted age was 6 months, so we really started around 7 or 8 months and he was WAY more into it then! Nothing says you have to start at 6, I'd wait until you are comfortable and C is showing signs of readiness. No reason to rush it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-solids-later-than-6-months#post-1207772 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 03:26:53 +0000 BabyMats 1207772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: what criteria does he have to meet? I'm just curious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-solids-later-than-6-months#post-1207662 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 23:27:32 +0000 Penny Lane 1207662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didn't start til closer to 7 months. partly because we didn't have a high chair, and partly because he still wasn't awesome at sitting up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-solids-later-than-6-months#post-1207656 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 23:24:51 +0000 Boheme 1207656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS doesn't yet meet some of the criteria I'd like to see before he starts BLW, so I think we'll be later than 6 months. Did anyone else start later? </p>
