Hi. My son is turning 3 months old soon. I started feeding him baby porridge bout 3 weeks ago an he loves it. Ive also started him on stage 1 baby purity an he really seems to enjoy it. To help with any constipation I let him drink warm plain Rooibos tea (Im from sa so we no its good)

We started our daughter on cereal at 5 months, but she was born 5 weeks early so adjusted she would have been 4 months. Congratulations on the adorable little boy! :)

istarted at 3mths almost 4mths, i noticed he wasnt satisfied with just formula, so igave him pablum too. this helped to keep him sleeping longer at night because he's full.

It is not recommended that babies start solids until between 4 to 6 months of age. I started feeding my son baby rice at 4 months, just once a day. Now at 5 months we are progressing onto vegetables and fruit. Best of luck!

I started my first two at about 4 weeks and my last (who was a preemie) at 6 weeks. It really helped them sleep longer. Now my preemie who is 5 months old now, eats cereal at most feedings (she loves it) and she also eats stage one baby food and I just started her on juice like last week.

With my son he was 2 weeks old and only because his doctor told me to due to Acid Reflux.. My son thought it was the best thing ever.. With my daughter I wasn't able to feed her Any FOOD till she was 6 months old.. She was born with Gastroschisis.. ( inside were ouside her body) I felt that she was ready at 4 months they just wanted to be safe and make sure she wouldn't have any problem passing soild food on out..



I however would not have made the choice to start my son so early if his doctor had not told me to... I do belive that when it comes to starting baby food ( any thing) it is best to talk it over and find out all the pros and cons.. Some babies belly's are just not ready to have food and some babies will end up have allergic reactions to them.. Also most important thing is not to rush in to it with a little one Unless other was directed..



Hope this is helpful.. Best Wishes, Take Care and Merry X-Mas...

Have a good one..

Andrea
