Recommendations for starting solids
LO is 24 weeks today and we’d like to introduce Kendamil porridge this weekend. Which cutlery and bowls did everyone buy for baby? Is there particular solids or purées that worked well for your baby? Do I try to give food once a day to start with? Any advice and guidance is appreciated!
Is there a particular reason you are looking at starting with porridge? Yes you initially start by offering food once a day. Increasing to twice after a month or so (7ish months), third added at 8-9 months. I did baby led weaning so didn't use purees. In terms of solids we started with individual vegetables steamed so they were soft enough to squash between our fingers. Solid starts has an app and Instagram that has a lot of information about what can be introduced when and how it should be served. Cutlery and bowls we started with silicone plates/bowls. Cutlery just plastic. We also gave baby a spoon to play with before starting to get them used to it/practicing. It also lets them map their mouth.
