This time around it was so much more obvious to me that she was really hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-solids-earlier-later-with-subsequent-babies#post-1931685 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 21:07:55 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1931685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will start letting him "taste" around the same time (4.5) but wait until after 6 to really feed. Probably doing more BLW this time due to my laziness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-solids-earlier-later-with-subsequent-babies#post-1931663 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 20:52:52 +0000 luckypenny 1931663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Canoli: hahaha sooooo lazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-solids-earlier-later-with-subsequent-babies#post-1931648 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 20:42:36 +0000 knittylady 1931648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: same and same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-solids-earlier-later-with-subsequent-babies#post-1931598 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 20:10:36 +0000 Canoli 1931598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: not as excited this time around either. He's 6.5 months and I've only feed him a handful of times! I feel so lazy. </p> <p>I started my first at 6 months also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-solids-earlier-later-with-subsequent-babies#post-1931582 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 20:01:55 +0000 BandDmommy 1931582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS, I waited till he was 8 months old (6 months adjusted). Not sure what I'll do for baby #2, since hopefully she will not be born premature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-solids-earlier-later-with-subsequent-babies#post-1931541 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 19:30:27 +0000 winniebee 1931541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we will start later (started at 4.5 mis last time) as I won't be as excited to do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-solids-earlier-later-with-subsequent-babies#post-1931532 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 19:24:20 +0000 littleblessings 1931532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO 1 I have solids around 6 months. Tried solids on LO 2 about the same time. He would t eat them. Started BLW at 8months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-solids-earlier-later-with-subsequent-babies#post-1931526 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 19:18:28 +0000 luckypenny 1931526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 we started around 5.5 months.<br /> DD2 started at 6 months. I'm definitely not as "excited" about it as I was DD1 and more slow going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-solids-earlier-later-with-subsequent-babies#post-1931404 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 17:23:24 +0000 mauxie 1931404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started both at 6 months, baby led and still a fair amount of purees. </p> <p>DD took much longer to take to solids than DS. DS chows down so it seems like he has had more variety/real food than DD did at the same age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-start-solids-earlier-later-with-subsequent-babies#post-1931381 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 17:14:47 +0000 regberadaisy 1931381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started solids with DD 1 at a week shy of 6 months. We plan to wait for around the same time frame with DD 2. Crazy to think we're a third of the way there! </p> <p>Did you start solids with #2, 3, etc, earlier or later? </p>
