Babies: 0 - 3 Months

When did you start solids?

DD is eating SO much. We gave a lot of pumped milk yesterday & in 12 hrs. she had 21 oz. She also nursed 5-6 times in the 12 hrs before that b/c she was up all night. My mom thinks it's time to start solids since she's eating so darn much. It could be a growth spurt so I'm going to see if it goes away in a few days or not.

Re: When did you start solids?

  • My pedi said he will start on solids at 4 months so you are almost there!

  • I started when DD was a little younger than your DC for most of the same reasons.  She's finally gotten the hang of it over the last week or so and now she really loves her solids.
  • 4 months with dd2, but slightly earlier with dd1 but she ate SO MUCH and was never satisfied. i gave her a bit of solids at night and she was a happier baby overall.
  • We haven't yet.  I want to wait until 6 months, but my DD has been showing signs of being ready and will turn 5 months on Jan 10, so we may reevaluate then.  Keep in mind, babies eat only a few teaspoons of solids to start and solids don't replace milk, so she'll still be eating a lot of milk, and 32oz or more can be totally normal.  FWIW, my DD had a similar growth spurt last week.

  • We started at 4m - still on rice cereal though. DS is doing well with it so now we'll move on to oatmeal (per pediatrician)

  • We are starting tomorrow. ?Our ped told us to start at 4 months (DS was eating like 40 ounces of formula a day) but DS got sick so we've been holding off a bit. ?
  • 4 months, which was suggested by her pedi.
