When can i start trying my daughter with solids?

Question

When can i start trying my daughter with solids?

Answer 1

Treebeard is right. Between 4 and 6 months and only one new food at a time to determine any allergies. Good luck.

Answer 2

4-6 months but you try her on things if shes doesn't want it don't force her she will eat when ready  

Answer 3

We started at six months.

Answer 4

To be honest its absolutely your choice. If your daughter needs it then do it. My son has always been a tall stocky baby but isnt fat and he was so hungry that i had to put him on baby rice at 9 weeks and now hes nearly 6 months and is having 3 meals a day as well as about 4 or 5 bottles. Some babies are hungries than others and although you may get some awful feedback and nasty comments (i know i did) its better for your baby to be happy. If she needs solids early then dont listen to anyone else and follow your instincts, thats what they are there for. You wont get it wrong despite what other people say. Good luck

Answer 5

These days they only recommend babys having solids at 6 months. It may be the case that you can do it a little earlier if she is showing signs. Signs that she is ready are:

* Holding her head up and controlling head movements.

* Sitting well when supported.

* Making chewing motions.

* Doubling her birth weight.

* Being unsatisfied after a full milk feed

* Demanding increasing and more frequent milk feeds

* Attempting to put things in her mouth

* After a period of sleeping through the night waking in the night with hunger

* Displaying curiosity about what you are eating.

I hope this helps.

Answer 6

Between 4 and 6 months. Introduce only one food at a time and give it a few days to determine whether or not your baby has an allergy.

When the baby lets you know the milk is just not doing the job. Believe me you will know. They are not satisfied after a feed and want a little more. I started with a little rice cereal (Farex) after the feeds once a day at about 4 months but my girlfriend had a 10 pound baby and she was eating solids within 2 weeks because the milk was not keeping up with the demand. Whatever you feel comfortable with is fine.  

Answer 8

Lots of people say none until 6 months. Some people say you can let them try before then just no real meals. Then there are people who still think at 2 weeks is fine because that is what they did in the 50's and 60's when breast feeding was discouraged.

I let my son try a few things before 6 months (he loved bratwurst and sauerkraut LOL) but only a taste.
