POLL: Has LO started solids?

[withsilverwings]

"Started" He mostly just gums it although he has figured out that if he holds the cucumber between his gums and pulls he can get all the good mushy bits

We have started BLW (after she turned 6 months old), but I am pretty sure that DD has not actually swallowed any food yet. She did love gumming the bell pepper though!

no solids for my September baby yet

We won't be starting solids for a few more weeks. I'm not really in a hurry.

DS has tried a couple things but he's really not interested in food yet so we're just following his cues. The stupid lady at WIC the other day was like, "Well you really want to try and get him to start taking solids, otherwise when he gets older he won't want to try new things.

I'm so excited to start, but we're holding off until he's 6 months in 2 weeks. Just this past week, he's started noticing our food and drinks more.

We've done some homemade purees. He loves carrots, so I mix those in to everything else. I'm not that eager to get him into eating solids several times a day or anything yet.

[wickednomnoms]

Nope, not yet. I.have an end of August baby so we will be starting very soon.

[Aaemommy]

We started at 4.5 mos doing homemade purees. But we only do 1-2 tbsp at a time, once a day. And we don't necessarily do it every day. He was totally ready even though he was young. He was eyeing and grabbing for our food, drinks, and silverware. He's loved everything we've given him so far!

LO will be 6 months on Saturday and we have basically just been letting him taste what we have been eating just for fun. he has maybe ingested 2 tsp of applesauce and 1/2 tsp of yogurt. he was really into the piece of pancake I let him gum today though. he got mad when I took it away. that was the first time he showed any enthusiasm about solids.

About 3 tablespoons worth or veggie or fruit purée mixed with rice cereal because straight purées gave him terrible gas. He gets it everyday for lunch and loves it! We've done peas carrot sweet potatoes apples and bananas and there's nothing he hasn't liked. He is 6.5 months and we started around new year

[frodabaggins]

He's OBSESSED with eating. He loves it. They feed him 3x per day at daycare now - oatmeal cereal mixed with a veggie or fruit.

We just started when DD was 6 months 2 days. Not a fan so far!
