How old was your baby when you started weaning? - Page 2

so funny how things differ over here in Canada. We are encouraged to start with rice cereal, then once that is well established, adding one food at a time, every couple of days. They say to do this to figure out any allergies or sensitivities the baby might have. Also to use purees and mashed foods. BLW is not the norm here.

16 weeks and baby rice for about two weeks then onto single vegetable like carrots and peas that I grew in our garden.

It isn't the 'norm' in the UK either... i think it seems like lots of us do it on here because we tend to talk about it

I think adding one food at a time, every couple of days is a good idea if you're weaning before 6 months or if there's allergies in the family....from what I've read anyway.

I think so too. I gave dex something that my friend had made for her little boy. later on I found out it had wheat in it and dex did have reaction to it.

Properly was at 6 months and we are BLW too. I did let P have tastes of some of our food from about 5 and a bit months but that was tiny amounts.

6 mths is what they recommend in oz. they dont need anything but breast milk or formula until then. Breastmilk and formula doesnt have any protein in it. Babies have a store of protein which will last them from birth to 6 mths. Starting solids too early can also lead to food allergies and intolerances. 6mths - rice cereal building up to veg,fruit and meat. 8mths-wheat;pasta,bread,egg yolk,fish etc. 9mths dairy; cheese,yougurt. 12 mths-milk as a drink, egg white. This is the guide we are given before we leave hospital.
