Introducing purées

Ask his pediatrician. Family and friends opinions should hold little weight. We were given the green light to begin introducing some food at 5mo. Waited until 6mo for our second. My Dad wanted their first food to be fast food mashed potatoes 🥴 which of course we did not do. 3mo is way too little, their body is not ready for anything but milk. Adding any type of food to their bottle can be a choking hazard fyi. I think the fact that you wanted at outside perspective on this highlights continuing to follow your instincts instead of listening to your family ❤️

Definitely never add anything to their bottles. Huge choking risk. As for puree at 3 months there is very little in the way of pros vs cons on this but absolutely speak to pediatrician. Signs of readiness are a lot more than bringing hands to mouth which is just a normal thing babies do, most important is being able to sit with their back straight and good head control unaided, because although unlikely a baby can choke on puree and they need that core strength to gag and cough the food away. Their digestive system also doesn't mature enough to handle foods until around the 6 month age mark.

But as said absolutely speak to pediatrician because then you can start to work out a plan for what the right time looks like for your baby and what his needs might be etc and professional opinions are better at shutting down family who are probably trying to be helpful but have outdated info.

3 months is wayyyy too early. Please do not follow their advice.
Instead wait until 6months to introduce anything other than milk.
And even then…no baby cereal in the bottle as it can cause choking, pain etc.

lol 😂 they are giving parenting advice from the 80s or the 90s when it was totally socially acceptable to spank your kids. Next time just respond with “thank you, we will consider what works best for our family.”
