Introducing Solids

At DD's 4 month appt her pedi said we could really start solids anytime now, or whenever she seems interested. IMO she is not really ready yet. So my question is, when did you all start solids...closer to adjusted age 4-6 months or actual? btw DD was born at 34 wks 5 days. TIA!

    My guys are 32 weekers, and we waited until 6.5 months to start.  And honestly we should have waited a week or two longer. They were ready and it just stressed everyone out. 

    We started with avacados and then moved to cereal. 

    GL whatever you decide!

    C was born at 34/4, and we started with avocado with her the day before she turned 6 months actual.  I honestly hadn't even planned on starting that early, but it was like that week something clicked with her...she started rolling, was sitting (assisted) very well, etc.  so I decided to give it a go.  She did great with it.

    We started at 6 months actual, 3 adjusted, and it was too soon IMO.

    We tried at 6 months actual (4.5 adjusted) and she was not ready.  Lots of gas and discomfort so we stopped and triend again at 7.5 months.  She had no problem then.  I would say try but if it is not going well to back off.  We were really slow with solids and didn't push until she was 1 year actual to get to three full meals.

    We started around 5 months actual and DD is 33w5d.  We started with really soupy cereal and spent a lot of time before moving on to other things.  By 6 months, she had had a few fruits and veggies.  All babies are different, though, so use your judgment and try not to feel pressured to do it until you think she's ready.  GL!

    Thank you ladies! I think I will wait awhile. She doesn't seem quite interested yet. Everyone just keeps telling me how much better she would sleep and all that jazz, but I really don't mind our little routine we have now. Thanks for the advice!
