What age did you introduce food (and why)?

I knew Phoebe has lost her tongue thrust reflex when I put her pacifier in her mouth one day when she wasn't expecting it and it went in. Normally she would push it out with her tongue automatically.

I just started letting her taste rice cereal, two bites each night. She isn't pushing them back out. I plan on just doing a bite or two each night for a week or two, then maybe letting her try a bite of banana. I don't know, I am as confused as you! My girl is 4 months on monday but wont see her doctor again for a week and a half, I plan on asking him then!

We started at 24 weeks.

I did a lot of reading of the literature that shows that anywhere betwwen 4-6 months is safe but nearer to 6 months is better. We wanted to do BLW so just gave fruit and veg for 2 weeks and started her on other stuff today as she's 6 months. We figured waiting would do no harm and it makes everything so simple that they can have basically anything from 6 months.
