Starting food

My baby is 5 months 1 week. His next appointment is march 3d and he is 6 months 2/12. I was thinking to wait for any solids until dr says but he will be almost 7 mos by then?? Whatcha think. He’s 90+ percentile in everything, rolling, holds head well, no interest in food and I’m not rushing for currently.

Dr also did not recommend “cereal” or even ask about food at his last appointment but it was mostly a vax appointment. Again I’m in no rush it was just a random thought of mine

Also don’t care about the cereal haha I know many will comment that it isn’t necessary and I know this

Yea I’d start slowly :) if there’s no interest, I would just start sitting him at the high chair & putting food for him to play with

My pediatrician said once they can sit by themselves you can introduce food. But whatever you are comfortable with!

I really love the instagram account Solid Starts. They have tons of info on starting solids through baby led weaning. If you wanna skip the purees then they are a great resource. If you wanna start with purees then make sure they can sit up on their own before you start.

@Afton he’s very close to sitting up on his own. I mean he does but still leans forward quite a bit…I’ll wait a little because I am sure it will happen soon thanks everyone

My pediatrician cleared us and our baby is 4.5 months old. Maybe get there guidance.
