Solid journey

I feel like I’m failing in my daughter’s solid journey. I make her purées and I give her one large meal about two to three times a week since she was four months old. She’s almost six months and I feel like I’m not giving her enough solids as well as breastmilk.

It's never too late to change it.. i felt like I was failing too but she was happy and healthy so it's not failing then one day I had an epiphany and now it's a new day, she is on a schedule and a feeding schedule she gets solid 3 times and milk 4 times in a day and she is loving it so I'm happy

@Cece thank you

I haven’t even started yet🥲 my pediatrician said to wait till she’s 6 months

@Gabriella your baby your choice but I did do alot of my own research and ask the doctor. My did my research on the doctor too. Because I had a doctor tell me I was going to kill her raising her the way I choose and I wasn't taking any of that disrespect especially regarding my child. Lol mama bear came out real quick

@Cece definitely true! I contemplated starting early so many times but I honestly don’t even know the right method or like chart to follow so I was waiting on some guidance. I was gonna try the starting solids app

I've only given my son solids maybe 4 times since 5.5 months and hes now 6.5 months. They say before 1 is just for fun so I take advantage of that and just bf him mainly. Sometimes i let him taste something but I don't stress myself over it. If nothing else i do apple and pear pops to put in the mesh teether if i need a moment

@Lauren thank you for this, i definitely give her food in the silicone teether as well.

Omg you’re not failing! I told my husband we’re not starting until 6m bc we’re doing ebf so he’s only been on bm. He just hit 5m and his first tooth is coming out, so when we get to 6m we plan on doing BLW. Hubby wants to give him steak to try first. No purées. We will see as we go.

@Cindy I’m so excited for my little ones teeth to come (they’re taking forever) I really want her to try steak as soon as they come down 😂

@Laney apparently it’s a good one to start with, just give them a big enough piece and they can kind of gnaw and suck the flavor out even if they can’t actually chew it up, but it’ll still give some good nutrition. My friend’s baby got his bottom front teeth at 3m!!! 😳

@Cindy omggg that’s so early 😳 thank you for that I’ll definitely have to look into the proper way to prepare it for her
