My understanding is that a baby is nowhere near physically ready to handle solid food at that age. bunnylove08 on "solid foods at 2 months??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solid-foods-at-2-months#post-538401 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:34:03 +0000 bunnylove08 538401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our ped just gave us t he okay for solids at 4 months.

I understood all that but then she started adding applesauce to make it sweeter which I didn't agree with.

Sounds super early to me. I personally would wait until at least 4 months. A lick of fruit before is fine since nothing solid has to be digested though.

My doctor said we will talk about solids at her four monthcheck up (on Monday) as she wants her to beef up, I was wanting to wait until 6 months, but I'll go with what the doctor suggests in this situation due to my DD's weight and stomach issues. sunshineandsushi on "solid foods at 2 months??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solid-foods-at-2-months#post-538215 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 08:40:49 +0000 sunshineandsushi 538215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The mom commented that because her baby is showing interest in food and can swallow, he's allowed. bpcmarj on "solid foods at 2 months??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solid-foods-at-2-months#post-538150 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 08:02:03 +0000 bpcmarj 538150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We were told initially to wait until 6 months, but due to some possible GI issues, we instructed at 5 months to start cereal and fruit to help her digestion get kickstarted. She was nowhere near ready for food at 2 months. Could barely hold her head up, let alone sit supported!

My doc said we wouldn't even start talking about it until her 4 month appointment. But I do know my neighbor started at 3 months on her doctor's advice. Her son was just SO hungry all the time. They could barely keep enough formula in the house to feed him! He's 6 months now and doing great. heffalump on "solid foods at 2 months??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solid-foods-at-2-months#post-538075 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 06:55:36 +0000 heffalump 538075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My doctor said to wait until 6 months.

A baby's digestive system is not mature enough to deal with solid food that early on. It can lead to food intolerances, allergies, and there is even a correlation with type II diabetes. We generally recommend 6 months here.

This seems super early to me. Our pedi recommended 4 months to start foods. I'm curious, what is the earliest you've heard recommended for babies to start solid foods?
