I have also started solids for my 5 month old. She’s having puree but cries a lot when I feed her with a spoon. She prefers to have it in a bottle and she would have sips of water alongside!
I started before 5 months even because of same things. Crying at us eating without him, grabbing food etc. he chews really well and eats anything …so far he’s had fruit purées, mash potato(regular & sweet), shredded chicken/fish, tomato, tuna, cheese, baby porridge, mash banana and avocado . There’s nothing wrong as long as they show these signs of being ready. In contrast my first son was pretty uninterested til like 8/9 months old and even then it was a struggle . This baby wants to EAT
I agree with Anni, if they show an interest to food, still feel hungry after a feed and interested in us eating. These are the same reasons I started. Also another important factor is if they can sit assisted fine. You wanna make sure there head remains up.
We were exactly the same! Started at about 4 1/2 months as she would reach out for our food. She eats like a champ and she’s 6 months this week!
@Alicia congratulations for turning 6 months😊
Hello khush I've also started solids early. Baby Sophie had done well. She's had sweet potato puree, mashed banana and some weetbix.
