BABY LED- WEANING/ PUREE

Hmm my baby is in the same boat but I really want to wait until he can sit. I’ve read they need to be able to sit on their own in order to properly digest and it makes sense to me.

What I have been doing is letting him try stuff here and there. I read you can give them a celery stick or a watermelon rime and it helps with teething

My pediatrician gave us the go ahead at his 4mo to start single puréed foods as he was a very good “supported sitter”. He just turned 5mo yesterday and is just about an independent sitter and then we can move onto more complex foods. He’s been eating pumpkin, carrots etc for a month now with NO issues.

My LO turns 5 months on the 20th and I plan on starting simple single foods. Our pediatrician gave us the go-ahead at his 4 month visit. I may puree and mix with breast milk to have him try foods and practice one time a day. I want to mix in BLW at 6 months and gradually increase. The app, "Solid Starts," is great im showing how to prep food for BLW based on age.

My son is 5mths now. He's been on purees since 4mths old. He's a good sitter. He can almost sit independently now.
He is SO interested in food it's comical.

When he is 6mths old I plan to begun the baby led weaning due to his coveting of our plates. Ive bought a book and other items to learn about it and start him

But it's your baby if you want to wait until 6mths old do that you don't have to start foods because people are telling you to.

Ask your pediatrician.

I love the Solid Starts App 🌸
