When did your baby start solids?

For anyone whos baby is wanting feeds too often and not ready yet alfalfa seeds one tea spoon or a tablespoon of alfalfa sprouts for mom to eat makes your milk richer so he will be more satisfied by his feed if you're breast feeding. My midwife shared me this tip and it does work. When I expressed after taking the alfalfa you could see a thicker creamier milk was produced. So I will pass on that tip to anyone and the sprouts and seeds don't taste of much. East to add on top of things. Very good 👍

I know better now, (Thank you Barbra) all of my kids were over 12 lbs when they were born so I thought they need cereal sooner,my 1st son 3 months old, poor guy has bad gutt issues to this day in his 30s, 2and 6 months, still has issues, WHEN THEY GET THEIR MOLARS FOLKS, that's when to start🌿

My son cut teeth at 4 months and had two top and two bottom in by 4.5 months. Once he bit clear through and I no longer gushed milk but blood, pumping, and pureed foods were immediately implemented. Breast milk was had through the 12th month via bottle post 4 months. He's 30, has a wife and 3 children, and never needed so much as braces. He's 6'3".

My daughter ate foods when she was ready and nursed until a week before her 3rd birthday. Never once had to take her to the doctor for even so much as a cold.

No age limit, I started when breastfeeding wasn't enough for them anymore.

Started weaning all 3 of my children at 6 weeks. Never did them any harm and they seemed more satisfied.

My first 12-13 months...beforehand no interest and only breastmilk! She weaned at 22 months. My second was interested around 6 months and we did blw with whole pieces. He breastfed until 3.5 years! Every child is different! I have them lead the way!

I waited until the baby had teeth. But I'm pretty sure he had them at 6 months. He was also hitting the other criteria of feeding himself and sitting on his own.

My son was around 6mo and wanted to eat solids, but I should have introduced better options for him. He's had digestive issues till this day.

My baby was breast fed and weaned him self off . One day he stopped drinking off me and drank out of a cup. He was around 1 . I offered him mashed veges from about 8mths of age I think. But I just waited until he was ready and wanted to eat soilds.

My son was “unusual” with many teeth at 6 months. He started soft food and still nursed to 13 months.

When they (3 babies) got teeth & started biting (or clenching) hard enough to cause great pain.
