Weaning!

Omgggg I thought I was the only one with a hungrysaurus , he literally just STARES and tries to grab all foood, I read that we should wait the full 6 month toi reduce risks of allergies and allow full development of gut? What have you heard

My little boy is so curious too! I’ll be waiting until he can sit up straight on his own. So still another month I think. He can grab things and put them to his mouth so confident he’s okay in that aspect but a real key thing is being able to sit straight without support x

My boy grabs food from my very hands and tries to put it to his mouth. We all enjoy eating as a family and he learns from us.

I see no benefit or desire to start him on foods at this age though and we will wait until all key markers have been hit/6 months. 😊

My little girl is always staring too and seems quite interested. They say to wait until 6 months but that is just advice, it should really be when baby can sit up and is showing signs that they’re ready! I will most likely be waiting until 5/6 months because I dei that with my son and it worked out well

My little boy is hitting a lot of the physical indicators of readiness however the guidance is 6 months due to gut readiness and that is not something we can see or know so no matter how physically ready, I am personally waiting until 6 months. At the end of the day, we are our babies whole world so everything we do, is the most interesting thing in the world to them 😅

I found weaning with my first so mentally overwhelming between the sheer level of mess, to going through allergens and a new mouth to feed mutliple times a day, I am in no rush. The idea of weaning any earlier is horrifying to me for that reason alone 🤣

I would personally wait, showing readiness before 6 months is not worth the risk of early weaning. Let the gut mature and start when it’s advised.

I introduced solids to my first baby at 5 months (he’s now 2 years) and he has so many allergies and awful eczema now. I wish I had just waited 😣

i’m waiting until 6 months at least, there’s really no rush to wean it baby, you could put anything infront of a baby and they’re likely to be interested it’s not necessarily because it’s food

My doctor recommended me to start introducing food at 4 months. Just 1 type for 3 days in a row, a spoon/day. My baby is super interested in food and was ready to start. I think every baby is different and you just got to do what feels right for you.
