I gave her half a banana and let her gnaw on it. After that we tried avocado. She liked the avocado better. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1637088 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:53:23 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1637088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few days after 6 months. We tried starting with BLW and did avocado and then sweet potato the next night, but I couldn't handle the gagging so we switched to purees and mashes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1637066 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:44:24 +0000 catlady 1637066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little after 6 months and we do a combo of blw (mostly soft stuff like banana or cantaloupe) or mashed fruit/veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1636991 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:24:39 +0000 illumina 1636991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 months and we did porridge/cereals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1636986 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:23:43 +0000 MsLipGloss 1636986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6.5 months . . . purees! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1636970 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:21:13 +0000 lulibee 1636970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with baby cereal and purees at 5 months. It took awhile, but he did well. Now solids and table foods are another story. He's 1 year old now and I'm struggling to get him to eat a variety of things. Take my advice....do table foods as soon as you can! Like even if it's just a bite here and there. I will not make the mistake with my next child to mainly start off with purees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1561564 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 21:04:28 +0000 MoonMoon 1561564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just shy of 6 months. Started with squash, avocado, etc. We weren't systematic, did blw style, purees, finger feeding, etc. he was hesitant at first, but loves food now at 10 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1561503 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 20:35:38 +0000 Beehive 1561503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just after 6 months, started with veggie purees (carrots was his first). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1561476 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 20:27:15 +0000 Grace 1561476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5.5 months. Started with chickpeas, then sweet potato, then oatmeal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1561474 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 20:26:20 +0000 MrsBeluga 1561474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am hoping to start my baby on purees at four months, solids at six. I know it's way early, but I am hoping it will make her time away from me (when I'm working) easier for everyone. She cries bloody murder when the boob isn't available:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1561285 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 19:35:17 +0000 Smurfette 1561285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: so so but we did oatmeal like a week later and she couldn't get enough of it. She is an eater! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1561282 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 19:34:12 +0000 coopsmama 1561282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 5 months. He was so interested in food. He was constantly begging for bites off our plate -- so I felt bad waiting any longer. I think his first good was banana. He's been a great eater ever since and hasn't really met a food he doesn't enjoy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1561258 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 19:28:58 +0000 sandy 1561258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few days shy of 6 months (wanted to fit it in before her we'll check in case we had any issues). We did mostly breast milk mixed with rice cereal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1561257 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 19:28:38 +0000 MamaMoose 1561257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 week prior to six months. We did rice cereal for a couple days to get her used to the texture and she went crazy for it. Next we did avocado which she also liked (but now hates!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-your-lo-first-try-solids#post-1561254 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 19:28:01 +0000 lawbee11 1561254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months.

Purees? BLW? Other? </p>
