  • around 6mths for me and it was just once a day to start with.


  • I believe you can start on solids at four months of age.


  • I started my daughter on solids (farex cereal) at five months of age.


  • I gave my baby little smears/tastes from 4 months, then meals from 6 months. I basically started with 3 meals a day but they were quite small meals and gradually built them up. My son really wanted to start eating food so it was easy for me. At first I’d go through one of those baby food pouches per day, divided into the 3 meals.


  • I started solid for both my kids at 4months old some people starts at 6 months


  • And did you start yet BrianaLouise ? How is it going ?


  • I started my son of food when he was around 5 months. However, he would only eat a small amount until he was around 6 months.


  • The Health care babygroup coordinator said to start introducing food at 6 months but I’d been feeding my child from just before 4 months. Although I was producing lots of milk, my bub was just hungry so I introduced a little Farax and then after about a week added purees to the mix like kumera, apple & pear. Each child is so different and what works for some doesn’t work for others. I’d say, take on board the professionals advice but you know your child better than anyone so do what you think is right for then


  • From 4 months, I gave my little one pureed pumpkin and sweet potato.


  • I started purées at 4 months, then introduced baby led weaning from 6 months :)


  • My second kept staring at me with food envy before he was 4 months. So I started him on Puree


  • My bubs were grabbing what I was eating between 3 and 4 months so I let them have a taste. They loved rusks when they were teething and soon wanted to eat solid foods.


  • 4 months.But i remember they will eat only a teaspoon.


  • I started my daughter on solids at 4 months old. My daughter was so hungry and was feeding every 1.5 hours. When I questioned the health nurse about it she told me that the only reason why they changed it from 4 months to 6 months was because of childhood obesity. My daughter was so active crawling and walking along furniture at 4 months. I decided she needed to start solids to keep up with the growing. My daughter has never had a weight issue and never had a problem with sleeping since!


  • I would start at 3 months and pureed food. Take it slowly and see how you go.
