Thanksgiving food

My baby will be 5 months and 4 weeks this week. We are going to a family members house for Thanksgiving. I want him to be able to try some of the foods. Such as sweet potatoes, and vegetables mashed into a puree. But he’s not 6 months yet. Has anyone started purées with their baby before 6 months?

My baby will be 6 months on dec 1st and I’ve already decided I’ll let him try some things like what you’ve listed

It’ll just be 3 days early for him

Yep my baby will be 6 months on the 1st as well. I guess I’ll give it a try. Super nervous though! lol

we got the good to go from the doctor at my sons 4 month appointment, they said as long as the baby can hold their head up well (like while you’re holding them) they can try purées. side note sweet potato is a good place to start just make sure it doesn’t have a ton of butter and no salt. also it might make the babies poop orange😂

I started my baby on puréed food at four and a half months (?) I told his doctor that he watches me eat all the time, and he was great at holding his head up. She gave the ok! I think as long as your baby’s doctor gives the go ahead, you’ll be fine 👍
