When to start weaning

You need to wait until he could sit up 😅

Yeah and no. I let him lick or hold my food and laugh at his reaction. For example, he likes to hold whatever I’m eating and tries to eat it but doesn’t like it. So I’m kind of doing tastes but not proper weaning

@Kate I've tried explaining this to him but he just won't listen to me 😂

Yes, we started just after 5 months as it was advised by the HV. She can't sit on her own but ok in a high chair. X

Hey I was told as long as they can sit up straight in a high chair, so with minimal support, and they hold their head well then it’s absolutely fine. That was advice from the health visitor. Good luck on the weaning journey x

We've started with porridge this week. He can't sit up on his own but is fine in a highchair and can hold his head ok 😊 he was well ready for food. Constantly trying to grab for mine 😂

We’ve started and she can sit in a high chair, hold her head well and coordinate picking up objects and bringing them to her mouth. She also kept staring at our food so we just knew she was ready. She’s loving it so far and it’s really improved her constipation. Trust your gut, you know best mama 😊

We started with porridge once a day this week, LO can hold head up really well and sit up without slouching in a high chair. He was so ready and is a big boy so started and he’s doing well with it so far. Doing 10 days of porridge once a day, then will introduce puréed veg once a day too for 10 days, then change the veggie x

Mine is 6 months next week and I’ve started with vegetables this week.

My little one started at 4.5 months as she was always watching us eat and reaching out for food. We started on porridge and a few purées and she’s been fine 🤗

My LO is 6 months old next week- for a little while she’s been on baby rice and sometimes add in some fruit purée !
Also some vegetable purée ! She can almost sit up on her own but not quite yet -

My boys started tasting puree and baby rice at 4.5 months all this 6 month stuff is new they change it by who ever comes up with the next idea. When my girls were small they told you to wean at 3 months and they are both fine. My son loves having his dinner with us saves him tryna steal mine lol he’s 6 months now and starting to try new things. I asked the health visitor when she advised 6 months why they changed it from 3 months and she said because a lot of mums were just spoon feeding and over feeding babies and there were becoming a lot of obese kids 😂 basically because some people were irresponsible we all have to wait.

I have, mine little girl can sit really well in a high chair but not unaided!xx
