We waiting until around 5.5-6 months when our pediatrician gave us the OK. Sure enough, she loved food right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-your-lo-was-ready-for-solids#post-177922 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 09:45:49 +0000 heffalump 177922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited for 6 months because that's what the doctor said to do. She had a hard time in the beginning, she would just spit everything out because she didn't understand swallowing it yet. But after a while she got the hang of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-your-lo-was-ready-for-solids#post-177915 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 09:41:23 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 177915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't really looking for signs since I was so bent on making sure he was EBF for at least 6 months. And he took to them right away -- I do think waiting helped make for a very smooth learning curve. After three or four days he was eating entire containers of purees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-your-lo-was-ready-for-solids#post-177913 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 09:39:42 +0000 miranlee 177913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And how old was s/he?<br /> Z has just started chewing her tongue and jawing so i think at 5 months (tomorrow!) i think she may be ready.... Or is that just something babies do and I'm misinterpreting....?</p> <p>I've already decided that a banana will be her first food and I'm really excited for her! </p>
