Solids!

Ribs😭😭😭 and I didn’t even give it to her she snatched it and i let her go to town with it 🤣🤣🤣 but after that i just always gave her what I ate

Banana, avo, sweet potato and bone broth

Wow, I always thought they start at 6months (maybe 5.5) can I ask why they gave you an okay at 4? Guessing he has all his teeth? Is that why they maybe usually say 6months? 😊 I'm new to this but would be so happy to introduce mine to solids at 4 months too! 😅 thank you!

4 months is very early. Maybe low weight? It is a misconception that food will increase weight. Some paeds are not really up to date with feeding best practices. Listen to the baby lead weaning podcast. There are a few episodes on when to start solids. Don’t be took keen on feeding early. You will be doing it for the next 18 years 😂

@Kristen they shouldn't really start solids until they are 6 months. It's got nothing to do with having all their teeth as they can eat food with no teeth

My son's first meal was chicken and green beans! He did great! Loved the green beans way more than the chicken, interestingly!

My son tried pureed carrots first. We started trying a little before 6 months vut he didn't really take to actually eating solids for a few weeks. You can start trying and experimenting but I'd go in with the expectation that its more for learning/exploring tgan nourishment at this stage

If they gave you the ok at 4 months, you really should only be giving purees. Baby's digestive system is too immature for BLW at 4 months. I'd wait until 6 months then give solids but, if not, I'd stick to pureed fruit and veggies right now.

@Keona Lol how cute!! Did she have any teeth yet?

@Kristen I always thought they started at 6 months too, then started seeing some friends feed theirs at 4 so we asked the pediatrician and she said if he holds his head up well, looks interested in food , and can sit up pretty well supported they can start! I’m still a little bit iffy though lol

@Vera thanks for the tips!! He’s 15 pounds and checks all the boxes to start “solids” but you have a very good point about feeding them for the next 18 years!! 🤣🤣

@Melissa yeah that’s what I was thinking, thank you!

@JL Thanks! I didn’t know this either at first, but “solids” don’t actually mean hard foods you chew or anything it includes puréed fruits and veggies and baby oatmeal

No. It was mostly bone with a lil bit of meat so she was just sucking all the sauce and juices off.

Sorry, I should have been more clear, I mean "solids" as in more solid food specifically. I know purees are considered solids too but I wanted to make sure you didn't think it was BLW time! In terms of purees, we waited until 6 months too but we started with pears!
