Weaning at 5 months

All depends on readiness if I’m honest, I’d speak to your health visitor! I got approval of weaning early and he’s been such a foodie

Wait til 6 months. No need to do before

I started with purées just first tastes at 4 months and the more lumpier purées at 6 months then slowly introduced pieces of toast etc, you do you! If you think your baby is ready then start weaning! Xx

It’s recommended to wait until 6 months as research has shown their digestive systems are not ready before.
Trust me there’s no rush, eating solids is 10000 times messier and harder than EBF so just wait 😂

You do not have to wait till 6 months ! As long as baby can hold his head up and can sit with assistance and seems interested in food you can go ahead and introduce purées ! You can start with like a baby oatmeal cereal and then slowly start trying new foods !

I purée my own baby food right now it’s so easy just put it in the blender with a little bit of water / or breast milk !

My baby is almost 4.5 months and so far we have tried pure carrots , and bananas we just started introducing doors last week ! It’s best to stick with fruits and veggies at first !

Thankyou everyone! how often in a day are you doing the puree?

It’s recommended to start at 6 months however you do what is right for you and your baby, with my first we started weaning at 4.5 months as he was super hungry and with my 2nd I plan to start weaning at 5 months. If baby is starting to show an interest in food there is no harm in trying some purée’s and if it doesn’t work revisit when they are a little older. Do what is best for you and your baby.
