Weaning advice

My little boy is coming up to 5 and a half months and I want to start preparing for when he weans (going to start on purée) but I have so many questions 😭 like how many times a day do I feed him to start? How many bottles does he have? How will I know if he’s not just gagging??

and with bottles, they should remain babies main food source until they turn 1 so the amount of milk they have shouldn’t really change until then x

I started my first weaning today with baby oats. Two spoon a day and then I will increase. As regards to allergy it is advised to start one food a time and to give same food for atleast two days to determine if LO develops allergy. I am a first time mum myself so I am learning too. After oats I will try for purée vegetables like broccoli, carrot avocado but separately. As for essentials I have bought food maker mixer with steamer from Amazon. And baby suction bowls. I bought munchkin spoons as it changes colour to guide with temperature. Hope it helps

@Tenzin thank you!

@Elena I’ll get that thank you! I’ll do BLW eventually and introduce ginger foods but feel more confident and happy starting with the purée x

@Elena this is literally my plan! I was going to start my little one at that age because he’s showing loads of interest in food but he’s just turned 5 months and are wanting to start within free next week or 2! I’ve got one of those dummies where you can put food in for them to chew on which I’ll use before finger food x
