Just started at 4 months because she seems interested

what were the signs of interest??

We started at 6 months

When we eat she sits in her bouncy chair looks at us smacks her lips. Whenever I hold her and and am eating/drinking she looks at my mouth. But she's not completely ready because her tongue doesn't quite know what to do with the food, I just thought I'd give it a shot with her

She does seem to like the sweet potato puree I give her

My daughter will be 6 months on the 19th and I plan on starting around then :)

5 months & 3 weeks

6 months which is in line with the health service recommendations here in the UK 😊

6 mos

I started feeding at 5 months because our pediatrician suggested it due to weight issues. However they advised just because a baby shows interest at 3, 4 , 5 months does not mean thier stomachs are equipped to digest the food. To proceed with caution prior to 6 months but we were out of options and our daughter was in 2nd percentile so we tried it. If they cannot sit up properly on thier own they are at risk of choking. If they are still pushing food out with thier tongue as a reflex rather then being able to bring it to the back if thier throat they are not ready.

Started after she completed 6 months

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
