starting solids
My bub is just reaching 5 months old and I kind of want to start solids but also anxious.
When did you / will you start?
And the bigger question - what will you try serving them in their 1st week?
Thankyou!

I started at 4 months with both my babies and began with Bellamy’s baby cereal, adding a single ingredient fruit or vegetable puree to it over time. My family health nurse recently recommended getting off purées fairly early and offering family foods in a safe way to get baby’s mouth, tongue, jaw and lips working harder (this is early training for speech!) so when you’re ready, download the Solid Starts app for guidance on safe ways to start. Get your allergen testing in early and make sure to keep those allergens in baby’s diet twice a week once they’re clear to avoid developing an allergy down the line. Remember “food before one is just for fun” so take it easy - it feels overwhelming but it doesn’t have to be!
