It's weird that 3 years ago, I bought my nephew his first "food" at 3 mos. His pedia said it was ok and even the literature on the bottle said "3+ mos". But now with my daughter, the same pedia said solids should be introduced at 6mos because of some "recent study".
When did you start your baby on solids (osterized, mashed, cerelac or gerber)? Any comments or reactions from your babies?
Thanks! |

ako i started 4months mga baby ko... lahat ng binigay ng pedia ng baby ko pinapakain ko.... kc ang napapansin ko sa mga baby pagdating ng 4months gusto na talaga kumain. tska turo din sakin ng mom ko wag pipigilan ang baby kasi baka mawalan na ng gana ang bata kumain kapag gusto na natin pakainin. proven naman kasi ang mga baby ko matatakaw wala akong probs sa pagpapakain. pati 6months old na baby ko super takaw na. ang panganay ko kahit may sakit kumakain sya. |

salamat sa inputs sarahbabes and gladine. yun kasi prob ko, my baby is about 3.5 na and just a couple of days ago, ginrab nya yung food ng dad nya. sanay kasi kami na we bring her with us pag kumakain, para di naman sya na a-out of place pag dumating yung time na papakainin na namin sya ng solid. anyway, tinanggal namin food na nakuha nya na tapos pinunasan yung hand syempre. pero after nun, kahit na punas na yung hand nya, talagang kung tsuptsupin nya yung hand nya parang nalalasahan nya yung food! actually. when she turned 3 mos, napansin na namin na talagang tumititig na sya sa food and pag sumusbo kami parang ninanamnam din nya, together with the namnam noises ha... so parang inisip ko lang, baka yun yung dahilan before na pwede sa 3months, kasi parang biologically, hahanapin na ng katawan nila or parang talagang normal reaction na yun.
salamat po talaga sa inputs. when we go see her pedia two weeks from now, i'll probably raise it up, kesa parang guilty kami parati na we're depriving her.. haha alam nyo naman ang feeling, parang sobrang naaawa tayo sa mga babies natin even if we're not sure that it may not be good for them. madalas nakakatempt na parang ipatikim lang, yung dampi lang sa lips, pero sabi ko nga, gusto ko sagot ng doctor ko kung ano man biglang mangyari. |

With regards to introducing solids to babies, one thing to consider is that the baby can sit with support. Para to avoid choking. As early as 3 months, I introduced my baby to his first solid. I gave him Gerber 1st Foods Banana. He seems to like it pero mas preferred nya yung bland taste gaya ng Rice Cereal. Every time we eat out, he gets a sample or taste of what we are eating. Gaya ng french fries, he likes to taste and play with it. Now he's almost nine months and when we do eat, he's also sitting on his high chair and even though he still doesn't have teeth, he likes to have rice! Breakfast nya everyday is Gerber and during lunch and dinner, sinusubuan ko sya ng rice at ulam. |

I'm not really sure but my baby's pedia advised us that we should start giving her solid foods on her 6th month. So 6 mos ito! We started with gerber and cerelac pro saglit lng un. We preferred giving her our own cooked food, like mashed or boiled potatoes. Since 6 mos naman malakas na kumain si baby.
I believe in happy endings.. If it's not happy, it's not yet the end! ^_^ |

I've read na may enough iron store ang babies natin upto 6 months from the mother. and enough ang nutrients na nakukuha nila from the milk. so starting 6 months kailangang i-supplement na ang iron na makukuha nya ngayon usually sa meat at rice.
Also, may nag-advise din sa akin na parent nun na wag pakiinin si baby ng mga processed na food (like cerelac at gerber daw) para daw hindi mapili sa pagkain. mas maganda daw kung anong table food natin yun din ang kakainin ni baby. |

the babies should start to eat solid foods when they reach their 6 months, enough to mature their digestive system in order to avoid food allergies.
mommies should prepare nutritious homemade baby foods, avoid processed/instant foods. |

thanks for you comments. we just checked with our pedia again, and yun din sabi nya. better sana kung 6mos para mastabilize yung digestive system and avoid allergies. sabi naman sa isang website, we can try between 4 and 6 mos daw, BUT if either of the parents have any kind of allergy, dapat 6 mos talaga. unfortunately, we're both allergic to something so 6mos talaga
i sincerely appreciate all your inputs. thank you po ulit. |

hi sis, ako I started giving solid food to my kids at 6 mos as per advised by their pedia. Kasi prone daw sa allergies ang babies at an early age and by 6 mos, mejo strong na ang immune system nila especially their tummies. |

I started giving my baby solids at 4 months, based on the go-signal from his pedia. Like previous posts, babies should be able to support their heads, not have the tongue thrust reflex (meaning di tinutulak ng tongue palabas ang food) and double the birth weight. We didn't have problems with allergies naman. Basta always start with the safe fruits and veggies, wait around 4 days before introducing new food to assess if there are allergic reactions.
Hope that helps. |

my baby is 4 months and 2 weeks old when i start feeding him solid foods liek a little cereals and a jar of veggies gerber fruits,.. If you start solids too early your child could develop allergies...especially if allergies run in the family. The guideline is usually between 4-6 months,.but It depends on the child naman cguro...
the advice given by professionals then was three months old, but nowadays, it is 4-6 months.
good luck and prepare to get messy !

According to our pedia, 6 months pa daw tsaka pwede kumain ng solid food ang baby namin. Currently 4 months palang sya so 2 months pa kami mag wait. The reason behind daw is to avoid allergies and para fully develop na yun digestive system ni baby. Though pag yun parents daw walang known allergies, baka pwede daw kahit 5 months mag solid na. |

My baby started eating solid foods at 6 months. Just like pogitaz said so as to avoid allergies and choking. Kasi may mga certain food na nakakpag-allergy sa mga babies at an early age/stage kaya 6 months pa ppwede and syempre para medyo marunong na silang lumunok na by that time. |

hi mommy31, the best siguro is to consult first with your pedia para sigurado diba? Though advisable talaga is 6 months. Tell her lahat ng mga napapansin mo kay baby about food. |
