Babies: 6 - 9 Months

When to start lunch???

When did you start giving LO purees at lunch?

My pedi says about 9 months, but my sitter seems to think that he is ready now...she had 5 kids of her own, and has been sitting for 30+ years, so she probably has a good idea, but what have you done?

Re: When to start lunch???

  • My LO gets rice cereal at lunch time and this week, I had his daycare provider start adding an ounce of squash puree to his rice cereal.  Then I give him either straight puree or puree mixed with rice cereal in the evening.  He still has his bottles, it doesn't replace a feeding.

  • We started 3 meals a day at 6 months per the recomendation of our pedi.  Our boy was 21 lbs at 6 months so still got plenty of formula/bm with the meals.
  • we started at 7 months.  he gets about 2-4 ounces of food and some puffs.  Sometimes if we are out we don't do solids though.  no big deal right now.  He drinks at least 30 ounces also

  • I started at 8 months but lately she's not even into it, so I've somewhat stopped offering for now. She likes her milk.

  • We started lunch and dinner at 7.5 months and crawling started since DS seemed very hungry, taking over 30 oz of milk per day. He did great with the transition.
