baby food- when?

by summer205, Nov 02, 2007 08:49PM
When should a baby be eating baby food?  My twin nieces are 6 months- I think they should be eating baby food already.  I'm pretty sure my girls started around that time- [ memory is shot]  thanks for your help

Yes, 6 months sounds just right to start with one cereal type after the other. Our family doctor suggested at 4 months - that was 5 years - he only made sure that our baby had reached a proper weight just on breastmilk. Mind you, lately the advice is 6 months for start of solids to be sure they do not develop allergies. Not sure how serious this is to be taken.
