So my daughter turns 5 months tomorrow,Mashallah and God knows how impatient I have been to start solid foods…
Her pediatrician thinks since she is gaining weight fine and all so we should start solids when she is 6 months old.I will be traveling right about that time so I was hoping to start when she is 5.5 months old.
I did go through the few older threads regarding solid feeding but I am starting another one and will like the input of mommies who have already experienced this milestone and have tips to share according to their experiences and how their babies liked it and what they liked.
When you started with rice cereal, did you guys start with it in the bottle or spoon feeding..??
How many times a day and what time of the day…??
Which other fruits and/or vegetables did you introduce soon after that…??
Hey Chips. Perfect timing. My baby is 4 months 3 weeks. Was supposed to start it 3 weeks ago. But was confused. I'll keep tabs on this thread as well :)
I started giving solids to my daughter after 6 months of age. I started with rice cereal and used to feed her with baby spoon. I tried giving her home made rice cereal too but she only like cerelac. I spoke with her ped before starting solids and he told me that I can give her protein after 8 months and before that puree of vegetables and fruits can be given. Nestle's cerelac stage 1 has both rice and wheat cereal and after a few weeks I started wheat too and I used to give her each every alternate day.
Bunny started rice cereal once a day, in the late morning, at five months. I would give her one tablespoon made in one ounce of formula. I would spoon-feed.
I waited until 6 months to start other fruits and veggies, up the amount of cereal, and add oatmeal.
