What was your Solids Journey like?

I don’t know a whole lot on this topic yet as we’re starting the same journey but what I have learned is milk is their main food source until 1 and you’re supposed to feed a new food for 3 days in case they have a reaction you will know what food caused it.

We did baby led weaning with my now 2 year old and I would definitely do it again if I have another kid. Solid Starts is basically a one stop shop and has all the resources you could need.

I’m doing a mix of both. Last night me and my partner had spaghetti bolognaise so did LG pasta and puréed the bolognaise sauce 😊

If you’re interested in solely BLW & what an educational, trust worthy, supportive group to join, join @weaning the BLW way on Facebook absolutely amazing group super informative & educational to parents! Tell you how to cut things properly & what cups to use & not to use for different reasons how much added salt & sugar lo should have but in a friendly non judgmental way! Or you can just hang out & watch other peoples responses to post instead of posting yourself, that’s what I do 😂😂

Solid Starts App is amazing

yes, I’ve heard exactly this. We’ve also started this journey with my twin boys. We’ve started them on purées and so far so good. 😊

Milk about should stay consistent while solids will be as much as she wants as long as it doesn’t cause her to decrease her milk intake (minimum 24oz milk per day until at least 10 months). Start with offering solids once per day, after a few weeks increase to twice per day, by 9 months you could do 3 meals and 2 snacks.

Fine to do purées or more solid foods (or both). Add a new food every 3 days, try to add allergens early unless your doctor told you not to. My daughters first food was mashed banana, then mashed banana mixed with breastmilk and peanut butter. Toast fingers, scrambled eggs, mashed peas, fish and yogurt were also early foods for us.

I also loved Solid Starts app and following them on Instagram. They help the process and provide comfort in how to serve food. Baby food is so heavily purée’d we had better luck with baby self feeding real food mashed or prepared appropriately per age guidelines.
