There wouldn’t be food for 4months plus if you weren’t allowed to start. My boy is 4 months in a week and a bit and I’m going to start soft foods🤷🏼♀️

My health visitor said to me not to start before six months even though these companies put four months on their packaging. It’s just a way for them to get more money. Having said that, my boy is watching everything I put in my mouth and appears curious.

Hi Neli, as a Bulgarian mom in the uk I would say that you should trust your instincts, because you know your child best. I started introducing different purées when my boys were 5 months old xx

We “weaned” at 4 months, but only very soft things. When he is ready you’ll know, do what you think is right for your baby, ignore the negative comments. You’re smashing it ❤️

Hey Neli, my health visitor came to see me last week , she told me that baby rice is safe to give our babies from 4 months , not the porridge . She also said that it’s safe to give them pureed fruit and vegetables. I’ve been doing this with my 4 month old and he is loving it . Hope this helps 🩵 your doing an amazing job xx

Hey Neli, as a Bulgarian, I wouldn’t say starting at four months is common there either! Most babies start at five and a half or six months. However, I think you should follow your instincts. Do what you believe is best for your baby; there will always be people trying to tell you what is right and wrong. 🫶 x

I think purees etc are advertised as safe from four months because some babies need to be weaned earlier for medical reasons. From what I understand, there's no benefit in adding purees to their diets before six months and at six months their digestive system is just better equipped to handle it. I would definitely say speak to your GP or health visitor because they may ok it if your baby is hitting certain development milestones :)

I’m from Poland, and my parents raised us on cereal porridge made with cow’s milk. Just so you know, back in the 70s, 80s and even the 90s, babies in Poland were often fed cow’s milk, especially in rural areas. Women often didn’t have the time to breastfeed because of all their household responsibilities. Babies who were full would often sleep longer, giving mothers more time to get things done around the house. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I was raised that way myself, and I’m a late-90s baby and I’m still alive and well 😝 Give it a try and see whether your baby is ready for it. P.S. My friend fed her son semolina porridge, and he was sleeping through the night from the age of 4 months. He’s now a healthy, strong 7-year-old boy. Eastern European people often have different views on parenting and child development 🫶🏻

ignore them! I started my son on soft foods (pouches) at 4 months and solids at 6 months. my son ended up just eating soft food for about 9 months and then he started properly eating solids around 10-12 months. he's 3 now and eats well xxx

Recommendations are different even between places like A&E and the GP, A&E paediatrics recommended I start trying to wean at 4 months and when I mentioned it to the GP they were so shocked they’d recommended that it’s so confusing 🙃

I don’t see anything wrong with it, some foods literally say you can give it to them from 4 months. I know I’ll be giving soft foods like avo, sweet potato etc. you are his/hers mum ☺️

I got a 16 and 14 year old boys and they were started on porridge at around 4 months, they’re still alive 🫶🏼I’m sure it was the guidelines back then it changes all the time. My daughter is a couple of weeks younger than your son. I’m gonna wait BUT everyone knows their baby best I would never judge someone for what they wanna do with their own baby. You said you’re thinking of giving him a bit of baby porridge not put a red bull or beer in his bottle 😂🫶🏼 xx

I agree , you know your baby I started Harrison on baby rice around 4 months and he loved it. Not replacing bottle feeds just a little something to go along side with his bottle as it kept him fuller for longer. You’re the parent no one else. Honestly mum shaming is the worst. Go for it if he doesn’t like it try again soon xx

We are also Bulgarians who live in the UK. I started giving my son purees at 4 months old eventhough the health visitor didn't recommend it because he had really bad reflux and this advice was given to us by a Bulgarian pediatritian and it was the best decision for us. With our second child I started at 6 months old and I think that it all depends on the child and what you think is best for your child.

Our babies are around the same age. I went to the public health nurse last week (baby was 18 weeks) and she said, by the looks of it, I could start weaning at around 21/22 weeks, as baby seems ready. I'm in Ireland, but the recommendations are similar between here and the UK. Giving food to babies past 17 weeks is fine, they just shouldn't have any before that and should definitely have started eating by 26 weeks. Especially exclusively breastfed babies, because they run out of their iron supply by 6 months. Listen to your gut, and do what your baby is ready for. I don't see anything wrong with starting now or soon.

As a dietitian who work with babies and children’s with cows milk allergies and support babies with weaning advice. We advise parents to start wearing when the baby is ready from 4 months, if they show signs, interest on food like looking at you eating and wanting to take it, if they can seat up with little to no support and keep their head straight. Can start with purée and porridge and build that going forward to finger food and more. Cow’s milk can be used to mix food when they start wearing, I would normally recommend from 5 to 6 months, but a bit on the food like porridge can be fine. Or formula that’s okay. But after 6 months we always recommend to try cow’s milk based products and milk on their food. If a baby had cow’s milk protein allergy, we tend to recommend wearing early, at 4 months. And use plant based milk on their food only. The only plant based milk we recommend not to use before 6 months on their food is soya milk. After 12 months, any baby can have cow’s milk as a main drink, if they don’t have cow’s milk allergy, and of course if breastfeeding and mum wants to continue with that, that’s totally fine xx
