What age did they get their first bite of solids?
When you started offering solids regularly, was it rice cereal? Purees? BLW? Other?
-
5.5 months rice cereal
-
@Smurfette: Did she love it?
DD1 tried squash at 5 months and she was not a fan.
-
6 months. Earth's Best oatmeal mixed with BM.
-
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!).
-
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
-
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!
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: so so but we did oatmeal like a week later and she couldn't get enough of it. She is an eater!
-
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:(
-
5.5 months. Started with chickpeas, then sweet potato, then oatmeal.
-
Just after 6 months, started with veggie purees (carrots was his first).
-
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!
-
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.
-
6.5 months . . . purees!
-
5 months and we did porridge/cereals.
-
A little after 6 months and we do a combo of blw (mostly soft stuff like banana or cantaloupe) or mashed fruit/veggies.
-
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
-
A little before 6 months. I gave her half a banana and let her gnaw on it. After that we tried avocado. She liked the avocado better.
-
6 months. We did a mix of purees and table foods.
