Starting baby food
I started Julianna on baby food at 4 & a half months. I would say some babies are ready at 6 months but there are those babies like Julianna that show signs they are ready at four months and are excellent eaters at a younger then average age.
I believe in giving babies vegis then fruits and then when they have teeth and can chew I offer things like meat and pasta ect...
I am feeding Julianna organic baby food only. Organic is safer & healthier and the price difference isn't by much so why not.
I believe in giving her a new food every week/week and a half so she learns to like it. She has tried carrots and she grew to love them. At the moment she's trying carrots and peas to transition her to peas and she's had it 2 or 3 times so far and she's not fond of it but I'm sure she'll grow to like it within a few days. Next she will try just try peas, then she will try waxed beans, corn & sweet potatoes. If I can't find any other vegis I will start her on vegis mixed with fruits and then she will start getting fruits after she eats her vegis. I will then introduce more complex baby foods that have 3 or more ingredients. I use to buy my son one that was like apple crisp and he adored it.
Anyways this is just what I believe to be best for my daughter after plenty of research. Hope you found it insightful.
