Hi all, my baby is almost 4 months old and I have seen lots of food pouches and baby rice in supermarkets which states 4m+
Has anyone actually given their baby any of these before the 6 month mark?? Thanks!

I wouldn't wean early unless under medical advice. I think they're supposed to be changing the packaging at some point anyway because the NHS guidance is to wait until 6m. I'd be wary of the pouches in general, they can be handy for convenience but they're not the healthiest, I made my own purées by cooking extra of every veg alongside our meals, blitzing then freezing in little tubs. A lot cheaper, not much effort and a lot healthier than the pouches.

I waited til 6mtnhs with our 1st but plan to trust my own judgement this time round, if baby has good head control and can sit up i will give tastes of food early from 4mnths x

It’s marketing 🤷 unless medically necessary it’s best to wait until 6 months x
