Feeding your baby at 6 months

Baby
Baby food

If you haven't already done so, purees and compotes are making their appearance on your baby's plate at 6 months.

  • To ensure that everything goes smoothly, keep in mind one essential rule to respect during the food diversification stage: only one new flavor at a time and in small quantities.
  • From a few spoonfuls of puree the first few days, we gradually increase the amount, keeping in mind that at the beginning, it's mainly a matter of awakening his taste rather than feeding him.
  • Of course, the whole thing is completed by bottles, at a rate of 4 meals per day in principle.

Mamas, my little guy will be 6 months on the 23rd, have any of you started giving your baby’s any kind of solids besides baby food?

When my 2nd turned 6 months she took a rib from my husband and gnawed on it. So after that we let her gnaw on food that she couldn't choke on. She skipped purees cuz she hated the texture. And now she's not even a little bit picky. She will try anything. She loves vegetables and will eat veggie sushi.

I started my baby off with once a day at 6 months. It took almost a month for her to actually start eating the food. Then at 7 months twice a day. When she hits 8 months ill do breakfast lunch and dinner and give her milk in between

Yes really. I’m ready to start making her baby food. I don’t nurse her I was exclusively pumping. Currently trying to get my supply back up.

Hey girls! My baby will be 6 months on the 18th. She usually drinks 8-10 ounces every few hours or so. Now she's eating baby food too. Do I give the full jar of the baby food with the bottle or....? #babyfood #6months #changes #chunky

Milk first, regular amount, then food. If she’s full, she’s full. But milk (breastmilk or formula) has more nutrients and calories than baby food and needs to be given priority.
