Anyone baby incredibly interested in what you’re eating/drinking?

My baby isn’t quite 5 months old but for the last month he is obsessed with any food/drink he can see. If hes on my lap he watches every bite/sip and is now starting to grab at it. I also noticed today that he was shouting at whatever I was eating across the room! I let him suck a bit of banana the other day when he was screaming at me and he calmed. Is he really this keen to eat? I was going to wait until 6 months but tempted to start now.

My babe started this at 4.5 months He’s now 5.5 months and he has a little bit of puree each day and is absolutely loving it! I too was going to wait til 6 months, however, like everything, I just follow his lead and adapt to his interests and needs x

Mine is exactly same. So I started giving her a taste of some of the things I eat. If you want to wait till 6 months is fine but there’s nothing wrong in starting now. The choice is yours. My daughter is 5.5 months and she loves having puree

Same here, so I just gave him like 1ml of mashed potato, sweet potato, cauliflower, banana or similar that can be mashed just so he could experience taste and texture and he loved it even if it hardly went in his stomach. I only gave him one little sample per day and some days nothing. Now that we have started actual weaning he just loves everything he eats 😂

Mine is the same, however he isn’t sitting unsupported yet, so I am not weaning until he does. He’s my second baby and I am in no rush to start 😂

Yeah same very normal an a good sign if you wanted to you could start them off with baby rice or porridge
