When did you start introducing solids

gault530

Q&S are 6.5 months (3.5 months adjusted) and I'm wondering when I should start solids.  With DD (a full-term baby) I started around 4.5 months or so.  Because Q&S are micro-preemies, I don't want to push them, however I've noticed both of them watching me when I eat which can be a cue that they're ready.  So, when did you start to introduce food?

we started at 6 months/4 months adj but he wanted nothing to do with them. We started with sweet potatoes.  Eventually around 8 months actual he started to eat "real food" and skipped purees entirely! now he eats anything he can get including clams and his favorite... black olives!?!?!

DS is 4 months actual, 3 adjusted and yesterday at his 4 month check up we got the OK to start solids. He doesn't seem to be showing a lot of signs so I think we'll wait until he's 5 or so.

I started when she seemed ready. It was just before 9 months or 6 adjusted. Before that she didn't show the slightest interest in food.

We are at 5.5 mo actual and Anna is really interested when we eat, watching everything go from our plates to our mouths. We will probably start soft foods this weekend.

We were told to start at 6months/4months adjusted. We started with oatmeal cereal
