And what was his/her first meal or bite?

Carly- 6 months , very content with her milk and she started to make in interest in food at this age.

ella- always a very very hungry baby so 3 months , it was 1 spoonful of ceral in the morning. Didnt want to start weaning until 6 months but wow what a difference it made.

I'm tempted to start soon as my little piggy never seems satisfied anymore.

We started Sam on little tastes of food at 5 months, and he was great at eating from a spoon straight away. The first thing he had was carrot. He still only has a bit of cereal in the morning and fruit/veg in the evening though, and he'll be 6 months next week x

If you are bottle feeding speak to your health visitor about switching him to a different formula for hungrier babies. The fact that he shows no interest when you try to feed him means he is not ready.

Sam wasn't too impressed with baby rice either - it's the only thing he doesn't seem to like. We started with pureed carrots and apples and he loved both. Milk is far higher in calories than fruit and veg etc though, so even though the volume might fill him up for a bit, if he's just really hungry more milk might be better. We just started to get Sam used to different tastes (but after a month he's eating lots more)

Annabel Karmel's books are great for baby food ideas

I started Colton early.. like 9/10 weeks (about 2-2.5 months). He started with baby rice, then moved to fruits about a week later.
He eats like crazy though, still. He eats three meals a day (totaling almost 6oz of food), aswell as 30-34oz of formula, and about 6oz of juice! He's always been a bigger baby though.

Oh, he also doesn't like baby rice.. not the powdered kind anyway. I feed him the breakfast jars... like, "rice cereal with apples" "rice cereal with peaches" etc.. he seems to love the jars but not the boxed cereal.

5.5 months to ease his reflux. Baby rice was first. Followed by root veg - butternut squash, carrots, potatoes, beet root. Other veg - spinach, mushrooms etc
Then fruit and now a little meat as well.
