Baby Food Grinder

Go for it! Man it’s fun too.

Start with baby cereal first, rice and oatmeal. Then move on to veggies and an avoid the fruits until well past their first birthday. This will help keep the sweet tooth from developing. Worked with my second child because we learned from our mistake with the first.

My son is 5 months old and I have started him a few step 1 foods he loves it Your child is at the correct age to start on baby foods cereals at 4 months and foods at 6 try it and if he pushes it out of his mouth and acts as if he dont want it then try again in a few days. Good luck

my doctor told me when i asked that he wouldn’t tell me when to start but he would tell me that babies can start to handle solids at 4 months but in some cases they recomend you wait until 6 months at 6 months either way you can definitly start feeding your baby solids i started my son at 4 months and he loved it and in fact i fed it to him the same time everyday and if i ran out he would be fussy until i went and got some he knew the schedule and really enjoyed the solids

Yes, but I have an invaluable tip for you in that regard.

Start the baby on pureed vegetables and keep them on veg until they are about 8 or 9 months of age. They will have a life long love of veggies and you will avoid years of struggling to get a healthy diet into them.

The veg should be supplemented with some formula too.

i start rice cereal at four months then start veggies and fruit. By seven to eight months I had my first two babies eating soft table food and drinking out of sippy cups during the day.

Your baby will let you know when he/she is ready. My son and daughter both started grabbing food while sitting on my lap. My son’s first solid was nectarine that he yanked out of my hands at almost 6 months.

You can skip cereal, as it is highly processed and not very nutritous.

6 months is good. By then there stomachs are usually ready to digest it. Make sure you test each new food for a least 3 days, meaning you feed them only that food for that time to see if they have any sort of reaction to it. Usually baby cereal is fed first. Make sure you also feed veggies first and fruit only after you have gone through all of the veggies, it can cause the child to have a sweet tooth and want only the fruit. Trust me I did the fruit first and now I have a boy who will only eat fruit. Good luck it is a fun and exciting time.

Hi Lisa, thanks for the comment. I was wondering if 4 months is a bit young for banana? Apparently it takes a while to digest, so is good to eat in the evening as baby will last the night. But if baby eats banana during the day, she might not eat all her tea and wake in the night hungry? I just read this somewhere – not completely sure about it’s accuracy.

Cheers,
