When did you start weaning your baby?

[mylittlebubs]

i think i will do it when he's 5 months old but also i will see if he shows any signs earlier

Dont want to start an argument but I started weaning max at 3 months with baby rice , and he's been great ..hes now on 3 meals a day plsu snacks in between and his 30 onz of milk ..

There are lots of signs they are ready , the biggest one was him being unsettled with just milk and watching me eat all the time lol each baby is different but as a mom you will know when the time comes

I started Amy at 5 1/2 months cause she would watch me eating like a hawk. She took to it straight away, but did not like baby rice, so she had the little jars. She has liked everything else she has ever been given. Lucky she is not fussy really, I say she has her Daddy's taste buds, will eat anything! Baby wise of course. lol

We've just started for real. She can't cope on just milk she is too hungry, she also watches us like a hawk!!

She's 5 and a half months. Started giving her different foods a couple of weeks ago

i started tommy about 4 months, on a little bit of rusk (1/2) and some fruit cereal hes now on 2 sometimes three things a day, he likes most thing apart from cauliflower cheese, my problem is if i give him food first he wont have his milk and if i give him his milk hel eat hardly anything, im having to give milk then wait an hour and then offer some food every other feed...its like hes eating 25 hours a day lmao
will try tomorrow a different tack i think, he has however since having three meals gone from 8pm til about 9 am the next mornin for food!!

OOo now I am confused!
Most seem to be starting their LO's quite late on.
When I booked in with my MW when first pregnant she said that it is now advised to start on baby rice at 6 months....
Then my HV told me that was a government guideline and it was no use as starting a baby on smooth baby food at 6 months doesn't give them enough time to get used to it by 7 months which is when they should be starting to get more lumpy foods.
She said that them learning to chew at around 7 months helps them with their speech....

So now I am really confused!

My daughter started on baby rice at 3 months but that was 13 years ago so there was probably different guidelines then!!

I was told today that I should be weaning Alasdair. I was a bit 'wtf?' about it as he's putting on weight well and everything. I don't think he needs anything else now - he sleeps 13 hrs every night! It's like they look at him, see he's big and think he needs weaning now. It's all very confusing.

I think you should put it off as long as possible but if you feel they're showing signs then try them, there's no harm as long as it's only little bits t first. I started giving Grace baby rice when she was about 3 and a half months and jars when she was 4 months

Not sure about lumpy foods at 7 months i think it depends on how baby likes it , atm max will gag if theres a chunk in his food lol

5months. We were up to 3 meals within 2 weeks.

I am thinking of giving Brooke some baby rice this week for the first time.
She is teething badly and has dropped a milk feed so i am hoping that by giving her some rice if will help. Also she stares and me drooling when i am eating lol

im itching to start Finlay - he is 12weeks today an I just know the milk insn't enough. He was only 6.13 at birth but he is really long and last week was 13lb 14oz so he is nearly a stone!! He sleeps quite well normally 10 till 4 has a feed then back till 8ish - but I know once he starts weaning he will go through. He will be 16 weeks - 4 months on christmasday so am gonna start with a bit of baby porrige then

My LO is 4 months today and I gave him 2 teaspoons of rusk mixed with his milk yesterday and he loved it... Also he slept for 10 hours!!! The longest by far yet! Maybe it was just a coincidence. The reason I have started is because when we eat he dribbles and just stares... He is also a big boy and think he will need to be an early weaner rather then a later one....
