@Katie Thank you! Do you do the porridge every night and then a puree every other day even if giving the porridge at night as well? xx
@Katie I know 6 months isn’t for every baby! He’s quite advanced for his age but obviously I know I can’t see inside his body to know if he’s ready to digest it.. he has every sign that a 6 month old would have and has no tongue thrust reflex either so 🤷♀️ xx
Yes every night porridge and then purées every other day for now while getting him used to it. We do bath at 7. Then porridge. Let it settle for 20 mins then bottle and bed xx
I would suggest just seeing how he is. If you notice he’s getting tummy ache and things then stop it. But we stated off with literally 3 spoonfuls of it and we made it just that little bit thicker than milk to start with xx
My boy turned 5 months on the 10th. I've been doing little tasters of puree the last couple of weeks, just the odd spoonfuls here and there. I had lots of fruit and veg to use up so blended it all and put in in ice cube trays so I could just pop one out. I've been doing baby rice and porridge with different puree fruits and he absolutely loves it. If u feel your baby is ready then u do what's right for u x
My little boy started showing all the signs of being ready for solids really early on, we started weaning him at 4 months, he turned 5 months on the 11th and he’s absolutely in love with food 😂 little fatty has either porridge in morning and a fruit/veg pouch in the evening or a veg pouch in the afternoon and fruit in evening. If you think your baby’s ready for food then go for it, 6 months is a recommendation but every baby is different and no one knows your baby better than you ❤️xx
My LB was sleeping through the night and he started waking for a feed. So we now give a portion of banana porridge after bath and then bottle after it and he’s sleeping much better. We’ve made our own purées and doing 1 portion every other day to start with just to get him use to the new taste and textures without doing too much. But we started on the porridge before bed about a week ago and we started the odd few spoonfuls a couple of weeks ago xx Ignore any comments you’ll get which you will, as I got the same comments when I posted something about weaning too Do what you think is best for your baby. 6 months is a recommendation, not law xxx
