when did you introduce solids?

With my older daughter, we started at 4.5 months (per pedi) and she was ready. She loved them and took to them immediately. I'm on the fence with my second daughter.  Pedi has okay'ed them but I'm in no rush.  That said, she's given a few signals of interest lately.  Am just curious how early / late others started theirs.

    Right at 6 months.
    Brought to you by IVF, ICSI, limited fert, and oocyte cryopreservation.
    Because we're fancy like that.

    4 months with #1, tried around 5.5months with #2 and she still wasn't ready.  She actually didn't take to solids until after 8 months.

    6/7 months..We started with Cheerios(watered down) and went from there. He LOVES food eats anything I put in front of him..and he got the hang of the pincher grab real easily to my surprise and we have had no real issues with food at all

    I would do what your comfortable wtih.

    We started at 4 months on recommendation of her pediatrician since she was gaining but dropped %.  Luckily she was ready.  Initially just with rice cereal that was pretty watered down then gradually added foods.

    we did 4.5. our pedi was of the opinion that they're more receptive at that age to starting with a spoon--she says sometimes if you wait til 6 months you sort of miss a window of receptivity to solids.

    We did 4.5 months with pedi's encouragement for both boys. Even though DS2 was born a little early (which initially made me want to wait a bit), he was even more ready than his brother and LOVES to eat...haha!

    Do whatever you're comfortable with and suits your baby.
