Q&A–: When do you start feeding baby, food?
My daughter in law came home from a friend of hers, with baby food and started feeding her baby (31/2months) a jar of carrots. I say she should have discussed it with the doctor first. I thought you start out feeding cereal first,fruit and then vegetables, But its been a long time since i had a baby and a lot has changed. Can anyone give us advice?

never feed a child under the age of 6 months anything but formula or breastmilk due to the risk of food allergins….and you have to be careful what you start to feed them on…no nuts, cow milk, honey, citrus, berries, eggs…
Answer by igotsomebomb
at 6 month old
Answer by Daniel’s Mommy
Did she talk to her doctor and you just don’t know that? The only problem with feeding a baby under 6 months carrots specifically is all the nitrates they contain…baby’s bodies can’t handle a lot of nitrates until they are 5 to 6 months(as per my doctor)
typically she should be starting with cereal and then veggies and then fruit. But not until a doctor advises her. My son was started at 4 months, with cereal, and so on. The “rules” state that you shouldn’t start babies on food until 6 months. Even though you are concerned, she is the mother of the child. I would maybe recommend she talk to her doctor, but she might not want people ‘butting’ in.

6 months
Cereal is no longer considered necessary at all. I’m not sure why your daughter is feeding pureed food now.
Answer by sesme
everyone is going to tell you something different. asking the pediatrician would be the best thing to do. however, ultimately, it’s going to be the mother’s decision. she should be warned about possible allergies and the fact that the baby’s digestive system is not really ready to process foods yet; they will just pass right through, and possibly cause gas, pain, etc. on their way. until you can talk to the pediatrician, stop with the food and just use formula or mother’s milk…

Following the advice of my babies doc I started feeding her rice cereal at the age of 4 months and then introduced vegetables at 5 months and will soon start fruit, all babies are different and many doctors have varying opinions on what and when you should feed your baby, so I would definatly discuss it with the doc before starting baby on food.
Answer by teenmommy!
my dr. said nothing but formula and cereal until 6 mo’s and then start with green veggies and fruit..only introducing one new food every 2-3 days..that way if the baby has a reaction to it..you’ve only given them one food so you know what they’re having a reaction to as opposed to them having tried so many different foods you have to go back through and try them one at a time to see what caused the reaction.
Answer by misstifa
They say to start feeding babies no sooner than 4 months. From what I understand, you can start a baby on solids anywhere from 4-6 months of age. Many argue not to start before 6 months, but if you start at 4 months, that’s really okay, and doctors won’t really argue with you to wait.
Typically you start baby out on cereal first. It’s sort of the introduction to food for them. The first few feedings, you’re suppose to make the cereal pretty runny, and then gradually bring it to a normal consistency. After they get use to cereal (maybe just 1 feeding a day) you can decide when to start adding other foods.
My mom said that with all 5 of us kids, she did the cereal, fruit, and vegetables in that same order you listed. I hear people say nowadays that it’s veggies before fruit. However, nowadays when you go to the store for baby food, you will see the baby food jars seperated into different stages. Stage 1 and stage 2. Stage 1 is for babies of 4 months of age. From what I remember, it was mainly vegetables, but there was stage 1 applesauce and I think stage 1 prunes. But like I said, I noticed more vegetables. Stage 2 is for babies who are 6 months old and older. Stage 2 had a widder variety of vegetables and fruits, and it got into the meat and rice baby food . . .
So, maybe nowadays “experts” aren’t so fixed on a set order (fruit first, veggies next, etc.) . . . It seemed kind of mixed around to me.
My son is 4 months old and I occassionally feed him baby oatmeal. I decided to not start him on regular solids until he turns at least 5 months old.
My mom had 5 kids. She breastfed for 7-8 months, started us on solids at 3 months, and had us on cows milk at 7-8 months. We are all strong, fit, healthy young adults. Will I do the same thing with my son, that my mom did with me? Probably not. I don’t really criticise moms how they choose to feed. Every mom does their own thing. It’s not my kid, so it’s not my responsibility.

feeding baby food–: At what point should I be feeding my 4 month old son rice or baby food?
My son is 4 months old, he drinks about 6-8oz every 3-4 hours and seems content with that. When I have tried adding rice to his bottle he seems to be fussy later (maybe he has problems digesting it?) So I have stopped giving him rice. Can I skip rice and go directly to feeding baby food soon, like bananna puree and such?

Answer by Mom of Aaliyah
You can do it now since he’s 4 months.
Answer by Marilyn
i did my son never really like the rice so i skiped to banannas and green beans.
Answer by dreamlover6094
i started my son on stage 1 bananas and sweet potatoes he loves it.. he turned 4 months on the 21 of feb
Answer by Jillian B
If he is content with formula then I would wait.
I am one of “those” mom’s that doesn’t think it is necessary to feed solids before 6 months. If you decide you want to do it earlier then make sure you baby can sit up by himself unsupported. I think this is the first indicator that they might be ready for solids.
I skipped cereal completely. Empty calories…if it were me I would prefer to give something more nutritious.
Answer by scorpiochick17
4 months is when my pediatrician told me to start spoon feeding step 1 baby foods. He said it’s not soo important at that age, but my son was eating 8 oz of formula at each feeding at that age, and was spitting up constantly. so, just try it for lunch or dinner, don’t force it if he doesn’t want it yet, or try giving cereal with some bananas mixed in..for a little bit of a different taste.
Answer by Sarah T
Yes, you can skip rice all together, in fact our nurse recommended it.
Not a lot of babies like rice cereal to begin with.
But if he is having trouble digesting the rice cereal from a bottle, there is a good chance he might not be ready for solids yet, I know my son wasn’t ready at the 4.5 month old mark.
Answer by I LOVE MY DAUGHTER!
As soon as now.
Answer by Piper’s Mommy
First of all, you don’t want to put rice in the bottle. It’s a choking hazard.
Have you spoken to your baby’s ped about solids? The doctor is the best one to ask if your child is ready since every baby is different. There are signs he will show when he’s ready. Formula not being enough, watching you eat, the tongue thrust reflex has stopped, sits well with a little assistance, ect. If his formula is keeping him content, it’s probably best to wait a little longer.
However, if you and the doc choose to go ahead with solids….Yes, the rice could very possibly be causing tummy pains. It’s an unneccessary “starter” food. You don’t have to start with it, it’s just a popular first solid. There are different kind of cereal such as barley or oatmeal which can be a little better and have less of a chance of causing constipation. You can also start with veggies. Either yellow or orange is the best. Sweet potatoes, carrots, ect. It’s best to start with veggies before fruits so the baby doesn’t just want sweet things. Be careful when you do give banana cause too much can cause constipation. Only do one baby food for a few days to watch for allergic reaction, and only do about a teaspoon a day until baby is used to it, then it can slowly be increased.
Again, I think if the formula is satisfying him that you should stick with that unless told by the ped. At least for another month or two. Hope I helped!
Answer by babygirlz3n2
Try giving him cereal by spoon, They really DONT recommend feeding them cereal through bottles..If hes fussy, he might not be ready for cereal yet..he could possibly be having a hard time digesting it, just because their digestive systems are still maturing at this age..My daughter is 4 months, but im waiting until shes a bit older to introduce cereal. she seems fine with just breast milk =]…But if you still continue to feed him the cereal, wait on the baby food…
