foods

[coz]

Hiya i was wondering what sort of foods you can start giving you baby at about 4/5 months im not really sure what sort of things you can give them ive got some baby rice here im going to try tonight, and would i still breastfeed him or do i replace a breastfeed with the food ? xxx

I would bf as normal hun. Try some veggies to begin with, they say veggies first and fruit later.

So some carrot, butternut squash, sweet potato, potato those sorta first foods. Then once you've got the veggies up and running start on fruit, pureed apple, pear, banana.

hi hun. I breastfed until my daughter didn't want any more (or around 20 mins) and then i offered her some baby rice. To start with she took around 2 -3 teaspoons full. After about 10 days i introduced some pureed vegetables and went from there.

I tried brekkies with Joseph that were really bland at first like baby rice & baby porridge then introduced pureed veggies like carrot, potato etc

Baby rice. Or Heinz do a lovely Rice Pudding that my son adored! When he's used to textures and solids, you can throw in alot more.

I didnt brestfeed. But the HV said just stick to packets & jars till 6months then make your own. Plus at 6months they can have full fat milk in foods so it makes it easier.
I started at 3months as Olivia started waking again in the night. I started with a rusk & milk before bed.
At 4months then started with half jar of dinner.
At 6months started with 3meals aday.
Upto 6months they need there milk. So try to give them that first.
As he takes more food you will notice he will start to drop a feed.
Hope this helps xxxx
