Started solids at 6mo and now weaning at 14 mo. I've been kind of late on weaning off bottles so this is a rough week for us lol
We started with oatmeal cereal last week, which was about a week earlier than I wanted. But she wasn’t/isn’t sleeping and I was desperate and willing to try anything 😩 We’ll wait a few weeks to introduce purées. Up until then she wasn’t showing any signs of readiness, and our lactation consultant recommended waiting until 6 months. Sh said that’s really ideal. She encouraged introducing and letting her explore at 5 months. She just turned 5 months on Monday.
Has it helped her sleep? @Usinger
Is it okay for 4 months old to eat puree?
@Haley my pediatrician said at 4 months that it was alright to start introducing him to solids after bottles or feeds a few times a day he had us start with cereal mixed with formula or breast milk and once he could move that from the tip of his tongue to the back of his mouth consistently without spitting it out we could start purées which he was a hungry boy and got the hang of it in just a few days
I was waiting for her to show interest. She has shown a ton of interest in our drinks especially if there is a straw involved for her to drool all over 😆 She just recently started to pay attention to us eating more so we’ve given her little tastes . She’ll be 5 months old next week
Im nit waiting she’s tried them, but I want to be BABY led weaning, so she’s gonna start differently but every baby is so different and she hates purses currently
