when did you start giving your baby/babies solid food?

Id say use your own judgement if a child wants it you will know. I have already started feeding my little girl and she just turned two months old and well she loves it.

my little girl i gave her solid food when she was 4 monhts old.i dont think so if it is late some said too early because in thats case supposed to be only milk.

my daughter started about 6 months feeding her baby now the doctor was against this because it makes the baby to fat before time because the baby is not ready for table food his little stomach is not ready until about 1 year.i have know too many who started their baby at 3 months and their baby was so fat couldn,t get off the couch.

My older son is thirteen years old and I began weening him on to solid food when he was 4 months old. Nowadays it is suggested that mothers begin weaning at 6 months old. I did that with my second son and he is now eighteen months old. He is very fussy and he eats posh baby foods that a company makes. He can eat gingerbread biscuits and fruit deserts but he won't eat fruit or vegetables. I am trying to get him to like more foods and healthy options too.

I started giving solid foods to my kids when they turn 6 months old. This is the usual age to start giving them solid foods. It is not true that it can be too late, in fact it is the optimum age to give them solid food. you may want to ask why? The answer is(as I have searched before) because the lining of the stomach of the babies are so thin that when food enters to it, they absorb it immediately and thinks of it as a harmful substance. and so when the same type of food enters again when they grow older antibodies acted out thus it became food allergies. My pedia told me that too that when we introduce solid food to babies at younger age they tend to have more allergic reaction to foods when they grow older. When the kids turns 5 too 7 months, the lining of the stomach thickens thus substance that can enter are reduced

Hi there se7enthbird. I have a two months old baby, Keiji, and I think we going to start to fed him when he turn 3 months old. My sister have 4 lovelly kids and I ask her anything what to do about babies. I will do what my sister told me to do about Keiji, I think its good, now i can see that her kids grown good. And for my instict too I think I would start to give him at his 3 month, not a lot but small amount of mashed potatoes and mashed banana, even a drop of fresh orange juice. Have a nice day, duh..............

Upon the advise of my baby's doctor... i started giving her solid foods when she was 6 months old... i asked why that late... and she said that studies show that kids who are fed at that age tend to have less allergic reactions to food... So we followed the doctor's advise... since we had nothing to lose but everything to gain in doing that...
