Great info, and great timing for me to see it. My little guy is just hit 4 months, sucking on everything and sleeping through the night (almost 11 hours on Saturday, whaaaaat!!). Now he’s eyeing off my food so we’ll be trying him out on some foods soon. He’s ebf so I’m nervous but excited for this next chapter.

All of my kids were around 5 to 6mths. There are so many options available from the supermarket now.

I think my bub was about 4 months.

I started my little one on solids at 4 months and had no problems. I was told that might be a little early but she was following my spoon when I was eating and reaching out to grab it, that was a good enough sign for me.

  yeah every kids different and they do get so curious about food

Can I ask is rafferty’s garden pouches just as good as home made as in nutrition and vitiamns ect.

I started them both at around six months. Only to give them tastes of new stuff, milk still satisfies them but I wanted to get them to try foods before they needed it and also to be careful of introducing only 1 new food a week to check for allergies.

Rafferty’s Garden smooth range is an excellent product to start using if your bub is trying out solids for the first time. They are smooth in texture and taste yummy. Filled with healthy fruit and vegetables, they contain no hidden ‘nasties’ so you can feel confident in feeding them to your bub. They come in a great range of flavours and are so convenient when you are out and about. My bub loves them!

DS kept watching us eat with interest, so we started offering solids at 5 months, he didn’t really get interested eating solids till 6 months,

6 months

They are helpful hints.for me.

Mine started at 4 months and I didn’t have any problems! I know when they r ready

I was guided by my Maternal Health Nurse and started after 4 months with the rice mix. My bub was 4 kilos born, so he was really ready for something more than milk!

Lke it

both of mine started at 6mths – boy was that fun, there both were not fans of the farex cereals and really who could blame them. Were alot happier on fruits firstly then moved into the vegie – can highly recommend making your own so you know especially what is going into it and can highly recommend the rafferty’s range both my girls loved their meals

We started playing with food from 5 months. It was more about experimenting and socialising (joining in with sitting up for meals). It took the pressure off making sure my baby ‘ate’. He had so much fun squashing good in his fingers and practicing picking up food and aiming for his mouth. He’s now a great eater at 11 months

The ‘mum’ button switches on and you know when your babies are ready, each of mine was different.

It’s a very exciting time when you child starts solids.

Each child is unique and starting solids is definitely a time where the bugs is in charge, they will let you know when they are ready.

A great article. Thankyou
