When did you start weaning?

15 weeks. I started LO with a little bit of rice.

At 5 and a half months I gave her sticks of veg to try. We started proper baby led weaning at 6 months exactly.

At 24 and a half weeks... she kind of decided for herself by taking food off my plate and eating it!!! I really wanted to wait until 26 weeks but seeing as we're doing BLW, I think if she's capable of picking up food and eating it, she's ready and she's probably not eating much anyway.

3 half months roughly with all 3. Mine were hungry boys were having 9onze hungrier baby by about 2 months. Started weaning with rice in the morning so could make sure that they was okay with that then had either mashed up dinner or baby jars depending where I was of a night. Mine are 9, 4 and 2, with eldest was told okay to start about 4 months but time got to 3rd advise was 6 months at least but to be quite honest and peope will disagree I went with my boys when I thought they couldn't take anymore milk I started weaning.

I started my LO with rice cereal in his bottle at 13 weeks. At 4 months I started him on jar food. He has 3 meals a day including 5-6 5oz bottles.

To those who have already started weaning.

How did you know when to start doing it? Did your LO give you any signs or did you just decide to ?

Thanks

BLW at 6 months

For BLW the signs you have to look for are sitting unaided and being able to hold things and take things to their mouth.

26 weeks - i was worried as this coincided exactly with me going back to work, and i wanted to establish some sort of weaning before i went back, but i held off, as Reuben was pretty satisfied with his milk at that time. It wasnt until at least 7 months that i would say he was properly 'eating' and taking more that a spoonful of food, now he is on 3 meals a day, of mashed/finger foods.
