Feeding
Show your support
My mom is also pushing me to feed my son (10 weeks old) pablum inside a milk bottle, mind you I BF exclusively. She keeps saying that she’s done it with me when I was only a month old and I turned out fine. I get you for being annoyed 🥲 ! You can tell her that she has the right for her opinion and exactly that, you’re feeling annoyed by her constant unsolicited advice and you want to go at your own pace !
Real good I mean purées
@Nikki I’ll be giving him purées first is what I mean then try some real food every now and then
@Nina yeah exact story with my mother in law “my kids ate when they were four months blah blah blah” but yes I’ll try and say something.
It’s up to the mom ofc at the end of the day nobody else has a say what you do with your child
@Paige if she doesn’t respect your boundaries, cause it sounds like she might, I would definitely try and have your SO talk to her and get involve! Good luck 🫶🏻
@Paige it’s up to you to choose how to start honestly they’ll all eat everything eventually. MIL sounds annoying.
So my LG is 4 and a half months old, and people keep saying because her first teeth are out especially, that it's time to feed her purées and the puffs. To the point they're buying it for her and I even caught my mum giving her a veggie puff. Luckily I stopped that and explained I don't want to feed her until 6 months and she was somewhat understanding. I was reading research and guidance by public health that shows putting things in babies bottles can increase choking risk, and that feeding before 6 months actually increases risk of allergies and eczema etc. I find it stressful when people try to tell me I'm wrong or how babies have been fed from 4 months for years etc. I feel people should allow us to raise our children the way we want. Please don't make people force you, and as bad as it sounds, don't leave your child with these people unattended because unfortunately, they would probably give your baby things you don't want them to. Good luck mumma
I don’t think there’s a specific way or order to start I did give baby cereals mostly because more comfortable with the texture since my main concern was choking. Joke’s on me my daughter loathes them and will only eat food she can grab herself (she’s 11m) and she’s just now really getting into eating.
