how old was your baby when you first started feeding them?

Question

ok so i forgot to put cerial or solid food down some of you think your funny but your really not.

Answer 1

I started feeding him rice cereal mixed with breast milk at age 4 months. (with a spoon) Then at age 6 months, I started solids.

Answer 2

Breast milk - from birth
Rice cereal 1x/day at 5 1/2 months
bananas - 6 months
sweet potato - 6 months

The most inportant thing is to start slowly and in small amounts. solids foods should not replace milk or formula feedings it should be extra.

askdrsears.com has some really good info on feeding infants.

Answer 3

per my baby's doctor
mama milk only first
rice cereal with mama's milk- started at almost 6 months.
Vegetables at 6 months- one new vegetable a week.
fruit when I can find no more new vegetables.

while many people start fruit first, my doctor felt that he might not eat his vegetables if he tasted the sweet fruit first.
