At What Age Do You Feed Your Baby Solid Foods?
And what do you give them?
my baby is now 3 monthes old when is the typical time for him to start solids?
It all depends on the baby. They say cereal at 4 months and baby food follows. I am a mother to a 21 month old daughter and a 6 month old son, I started both of them on cereal at 2 months (off a spoon only) and baby food followed shortly. I stuck with first foods only though until they were about 6 months old. My doctor told me to go ahead and start the cereal and food at 2 months. My daughter was drinking 5-6 8 ounce bottles at 2 months old and my son was drinking about 6-7 7 ounce bottles at 2 months old. They were both only a pound shy of doubling their birth weight by 2 months. My daughter was 8 lbs 6 oz. at birth and 15 lbs. 10 oz. at 2 months. My son was 8 lbs. 7 oz at birth and 15 lbs. 13 oz. at 2 months. They are both extremely healthy and happy children. My daughter is doing things the doctor said most children don’t do til they are 3 and my son has been sitting up on his own since 3.5 months and crawling since 5 months. They are not overweight, my pedi says they are right on track with their weight (my daughter is currently at 30 lbs and my son is at 19 lbs.) or have any digestion problems. I don’t see anything wrong with starting solids before 6 months but like everyone says…every baby is different and I would talk to your doctor.
My daughter is 3 months old, and wants to eat all the time!!! She eats every 2 hours during the day and night. I don’t mind it so much during the day but, at night I don’t get much sleep. I am still breastfeeding and will continue to do so for a few more months. I don’t want to rush into feeding her solids but I don’t know what else to do. If any of you out there have any suggestions please pass them along.
My daughter weights 18 pounds and she was eating every 4 hours and now it is every two hours. SHe can sit up with a little bit of help and she brings stuff to her mouth all the time. I tried to feed her rice cereal but she wont take it and i have done it about 20 times. I was thinking about starting her on vetables but wasnt sure if it was bad or not!
What and where can I buy them? Always looking for healthy treats my son would like. Thanks!
Ok so i just started feeding my girl cereal, now i’m curious how long would i feed her cereal for? When can i introduce other baby foods? HOw long do i wait before trying new foods to make sure no allergies?
