Eating food

Has anyone tried/thinking of giving their baby porridge/puree or baby rice? My little one is 4mo and heard so many mixed opinions on when to start him? I know the nhs guidelines are 6mo+ but I know mums who have started way earlier

Personally I have. I am giving fruit puree after evening bottle around 5pm (before bedtime bottle at 7) and porridge after morning bottle. Working well for us

@Incognito how is your little one with it? I know people say to wait until they can comfortably sit upright/hold their head properly etc x

Totally fine. She recognises the spoon & opens her mouth now. She isn’t even 4 months old. At the start she would spit it out so I stopped and reintroduced and she’s totally ready! Usually feed her in her bouncy chair

@Incognito oh wow that’s amazing! How old was she when you first introduced it to her?

Personally we’ll be waiting until 6+ months as I know my boy isn’t ready; he’s not sitting independently, still has a bit of tongue thrust reflex, and is only just building his gag reflex.

I’ve been thinking about it with my little girl, she’s 4mo & 1 week. She’s showing pretty much all of the signs that’s she’s ready. You know your baby better than anybody else and you know when it’s the right time for your little one x

We have started giving our 4 month old around a teaspoon of banana puree once a day and she is coping fine! We have decided to only introduce one fruit/veggie at a time and give her 10 days on it before moving on to something else ☺️
