The Complete Guide to Starting Solids

I don't like the people on here who judge mothers who feed their babies solids early or mothers who don't feed their babies breastmilk. First of all, my son couldn't latch on. I tried and tried in the hospital so we had no choice but to bottle feed. Also, by the time he was four months he was ready for baby food. I still waited another month before the cereal and by then, the cereal wasn't enough. Sometimes you have to follow their cues. My baby is always ready for more then what I give him.

LOL at ignorant people that come here to try and make other moms feel bad. They are now linking delaying solids until 6 months with allergies as they get older (it shows up around 5 years of age). My son started with bananas and avocado at 4 months old and he started to sleep through the night and became a much happier baby. Get lost with your uneducated babble about "forcing" solids. Babies aren't one-size-fits-all.

My baby's 6 months old. He just started eating solids. Cause the Dr recommended waiting till then. He's breastfed and completely healthy. He's a big boy an obviously breast milk is all he needed up untill now. He weighs 22 pounds and is 29inches tall. If he's getting all the nutrients needed why feed solids early if you dont have to!

My baby eats oatmeal for breakfast, 1 fruit and 1 vegie for lunch mixed with cereal, same for dinner. She has a full feeding of breast milk within 30 mins of each meal and a final serving of breastmilk at 830pm then off to bed. She sleeps until 7am every day. She is 6 months old.

A "big boy" schedule by age 1 with 3 squares a day and milk as an afterthought? That's great, if you want to completely ignore the World Health Organization's advice that babies get the majority of their nutrition from breast milk for the first year of their lives. Breast milk is the best food for children under one year, hands down. If you're going to force your child onto solids early, at least supplement with multivitamins and DHA, please, please.

My five month old eat a LOT he eats 3 jars of food a day and about 24oz of formula a day. He still wakes up at night for a 6oz bottle, but sleeps from 8pm to 6am easily. The doctors says this is unusual and too much for his age, but he loves it. He's off the charts for height and weight for his age, but was born at 6lbs and 19inches. He now reaches 28 inches and a whopping 20lbs!

I feed my little son two to three times I was recommented to give him two times cereal, or some times I mixt cereal with food he is almost 6 month . He love food

my 5 month old eats it twice late morning/lunch and dinner with some cereal. That's what her doctor suggested for her.
