Cereal and purées
Show your support
My 4.5m son pediatrician recommended 1-2tbsp total cereal a day (once in the morning and dinner time), and milk as usual. And incorporating stage 1 fruits and veggies closer to 5-6months. But of course, they have to show signs of readiness.. stable neck and head, ability to sit with minimal support, etc.
@Kim you’re welcome
One thing that helped me ease my mind around balancing feedings was "food before one is just for fun" meaning offer as able, continue bm/formula as regular, don't force feed but offer and as they age through the year add more varieties to be sure and allow different textures to occur. Yes, try to space out new foods to watch for allergies. Be aware that food will change stools. Do what you are comfortable with. I tend to do a mix of BLW and spoonfeeding... As baby grows and become more comfortable with food, they should slowly eat more solids and less formula/milk
@Ashley yes this is precisely what I need thank you!!
