First foods

Anyone started giving table food to their little peanut?  What foods and what age did you start?

Majikat they don't recommend starting solids until six months in the US either but cereals are deemed ok starting at four but prefered to wait until six months or when baby can sit up unassisted.. Any foods other than breastmilk or formula prior to the age of four months increases risk of diabetes and obesity. Actually formula also increases risk of obesity too I just read in a medical journal.

In canada you are not supposed to feed your baby until 6 months but with my other 2 it was still four months.... I started feeding him a couple days ago he has had bananas, rice cereal, and sweet potato.... I really think he needed to start eating! he is a giant... he is a 20 pounds at 3 months 3 weeks

We aren't getting the go ahead until at least 6 months :(  Dr usually starts at 4 months so even though she is catching up in many ways she is still behind in others.  I am too scared to use orajel because of the swallowing warnings.  We have enough trouble with breathing and setting the monitor off lol!

Our girls have also been eating solid food for a little while but it's usually only a few times a week. Taylor loves everything and Madison is the picky eater. She only likes carrots. We have given them smashed banana, applesauce, sweet potatos, carrots and peas. I dont blame them for not liking the peas, they smell funny and taste weird, and I like peas!
