What to feed your 3-month-old baby?

Baby
Baby food

At 3 months of age, the baby's little noises, smiles, and awakening moments are more numerous and do not fail to charm mom and dad. The Baby's feeding also undergoes a turning point, becoming more and more regular.

  • From the age of 3 months, feedings become less frequent.
  • In principle, there are only 5 feedings per day if the baby is bottle-fed, and between 5 and 7 if he is breastfed.
  • Infant milk, or breast milk, is still the only food that a baby must receive, with possibly a water supplement in case of very hot weather when the baby is on artificial milk.

Hey! I started as soon as my son turned 4 months old. I started with bananas (he LOVES them). I waited 3 days before I started a new food just in case he had an allergic reaction to something. So far, he's eaten bananas, sweet potatoes, apples and green beans. I'm going to try turkey next. By the time Thanksgiving gets here, he'll have a whole meal. Lol

My baby is 5 months old. I am freaking out. My mom bought for my baby the beech nut baby food and I'm freaking out because I saw the lawsuit that is going around that causes autism in babies. Is anyone still giving their baby beech nut baby food?

You can do purées at 4 months but only as snacks. My son’s pediatrician said to start with 1 food and wait a few days to see if it effects baby in any way then you can introduce another food but not to mix anything unless you know they’re not allergic or have any adverse reactions. You can mix either breastmilk if your bf or formula. She said sweet potatoes are a great starter

My littleman is 8 months old and doesn't really want real food, he eats purees still but he doesn't even try food when I put it infront of him. Any tips on house to get him to eat more foods?

You just have to wait until he’s ready! My girl wasn’t fully wanting food until a little after 9 months. Food before 1 is just for fun and nutrients should come from breast milk or formula so if he isn’t wanting food now it’s okay!

Is this your first baby? Most pediatrician say to wait till 6m to introduce baby food. But it's up to you. We always started with bland baby cereal
