So I'm not in the states so maybe that causes my confusion since many online articles are.

I was planning to wait untill my baby is 6 months before I wanted to start him on solids... but then I saw our pediatrician and she said to go ahead and start solids at 4 months since he'll be more prone to food allergies if I wait too long?

I was wondering what you guys think. And maybe what the different opinions are in different countries.

edit: typo

So about 2 weeks ago I started giving him little bits of what we eat in hopes of slowly getting away from purees to more... less pureed food? Anyway, so I have his freezer with frozen puree that he's making pretty clear he wants nothing to do with. Fml. Any ideas what to do with it?

Just completed our 4 month wellness check up and the doctor mentioned we could start with oatmeal. I'm a ftm so I'm confused, I keep hearing people stared food at 6 months...does the ability to sit up matter for oatmeal and such?

Edit: thank you so much for the feedback!

What foods make red purees?

My LO loves the color red, but is iffy on eating, so I was thinking some red purees would catch her attention.

My 10 month old won't eat. She puts everything in her mouth and then spits it out yet she will eat play doh or anything off the ground like it's nothing 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ any suggestions on how to get this girl to eat better??

So my eight month old hates food. Sometimes he likes some foods, but mealtime mostly involves lots of him screaming and trying to hit the spoon away. He was ebf until 5 months and just sampled foods in a silicone feeder until 6 months. For the last two months we've been doing purees and oatmeal. He eats carrot puree and oatmeal okay but will only eat a few bites of anything else and then refuses to eat any more and screams until I take him out of the high chair. He also gags really easy on anything that's not super smooth and super liquidy. And on like mashed potatoes. Does anyone have any advice to make meal time less miserable? I'm not remotely interested in BLW

What blender did you use to puree your baby’s food, and what did you think of it? We have something similar to a magic bullet right now, but I have put nut products in there previously, so I wasn’t wanting to make LOs first foods in there.

For some reason, MIL says that oatmeal is bad for the baby. Despite all evidence to the contrary. In fact, she wants me to start rice and is even claiming her doctor says oatmeal is bad for the baby. Has anyone come across any information saying that oatmeal is bad for a baby?

Hey guys. I’ve read that gagging can be normal, albeit terrifying. My DS has just started feeding himself so I am giving him finger foods to help improve that skill. He does great with puffs, blueberries, eggs, and greenbeans. He has no problems with breakfast and snack, but for some reasons he gags and chokes at lunch. Any experience with this? We just started him on meat too at lunch and thinking he may hate it. What consistency of food should I be giving him? What size of finger foods? Thanks in advance.
