My tip for starting foods is to keep it as similar to what your eating as much as possible, I found that the easiest. When I had to make my son his own thing it was so much more work and often I ended up not eating for that meal lol. In the very beginning I would introduce one food of what I was having and usually in puree form. Good luck with introducing foods! It's so fun seeing your baby try different flavors and their reactions 😁

Im Australian and have an 8m old, we started solids at 6 months and bought a little fridge magnet with all the different whole foods to mark off. It’s actually helped us add variety into our meals! We mostly do babyled weaning, I just modify what we eat to be safe for our son. As a mum with PPD/A,this has been so much easier. We only really make some purées to mix with foods ie. pumpkin/lentil scrambled with eggs (I quite enjoy this on toast too!). Do whatever works for you mama! Every family and baby are different 🥰- Hannah

@salomeagershengoren8510 13 дней назад

We got approved for solids around 5 months I did solids for the first month and changed the consistency from smooth to chunky as my daughter learned the mechanism of eating then introduced the solids like avocado eggs steamed veggies etc. I would recommend a floor mat under the high chair or a catch all tray makes clean up easier!! And as you been doing all along follow his cue he’ll be the best person to tell you what’s working and what isn’t 😊😊😊😊

@mariesandovalbeau2644 14 дней назад

Hi Michelle! My baby is 7 months, and we are doing a mix of BLW and spoon feeding, I choose how to offer each food depending on how easy it is to grasp, how my baby likes it, and how much of a hazard it feels like… 🙈 I use the app Solid Starts to check how to cut things, and also I prep meals and freeze them using a cupcake tray (and then transfer them to ziplocks) so I have a good stock of mini purees/ mini muffins/ mini quiches… Trust your instincts, have fun in the kitchen and take a lot of messy pictures! This season is so much fun 🥹💕 I Hope you enjoy this new journey! Just take it easy and trust your baby 💗

@acmahan 4 дня назад

I used the app BLW. We loved it! It is baby led weaning, but it gives you a 30 day schedule for starting solids and tells you how to prepare them, etc 😊

@meghan623 7 дней назад

I have a 6 month old and feel EXACTLY the same way about the word "feeding!" Even if she's nursing, I just call it breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, etc. 😆

Totally agree w not having the black and white thinking in parenting! We just started big boy food and have done a combo of BLW and foods that are naturally purées - like sweet potato, oatmeal, avocado, etc! It’s worked well for us so far :)

@georgiahiipakka9002 14 дней назад

Hey Michelle! 💞 I have an almost 11 month old baby boy and starting food was so intimidating for us, too. We started on store bought purees and then mashes that I’d make (potatoes, sweet potatoes, avocado, banana, etc.) and that worked so well to help him learn to “chew” after awhile. Once he developed his pincer grasp around 8-9 months we moved to small pieces of food he could pick up and have not looked back! Never had an issue with gagging either and food at first really is exploratory and fun for them 🥰 Now he eats whatever we’re having but at first I would tailor our meals a bit more toward things easy for him to eat and pick up. It can be a lottt at once when starting but you will do great!

@dianamedley3456 14 дней назад

I did a mix of blw and purées. Immersion blenders make it such an easy process if you want to make the purées. And I did the Feeding Littles class before and found it really helpful. Along with the solid starts app (tells you how to serve foods at certain ages)!

My Austin is just a couple of months younger than Connor so it's been cool feeling like we've been going through this whole pregnancy, post partum motherhood thing together!

Wanted to add a comment regarding the grass growing since you gave birth. I believe that “ love” is felt in houses and nature . Your love you brought to your rental home just made the house come alive and reflect the love your house holds within ❤❤❤

@KayRang 14 дней назад

I have tried a mix of things with starting food. But have found anything I can mash has worked best. Then they can use their hands or be spoon fed and practice chewing. Ours prefers an open cup to a sippy but we’ve used both Ours hates her high chair so that made it more difficult. Screamed like crazy being put in the chair, still does sometimes. That being said it took 2 months before she had any measurable intake of solids. Found that giving her a toy helps getting her to sit.

@destinyhollislodge138 13 дней назад

We did a combo to our level of comfort around 6 months! My baby is 7 months and loves food and almost demands to be a part of meal time! It’s kind of unusual, but she did better with smaller bites broken for her than the large pieces. You will know exactly what works for Connor after a few weeks of watching him. We keep little spoon pureés on hand for on the go or when others feed her. For us, we try to keep her diet 80/20 balanced/processed (puffs, pouches) just like we would for ourselves 😊

Hi Michelle! I love tuing in and seeing what is new in your world, thank you for always being so thoughtful with your content. I too had issues with Nuuly last year and ended my subscription as a result. The quality and availability of pieces were a continuous problem for me, maybe a different rental company will be in our near future?!? Didn't see the shop listed for the farmer's market stand selling vintage clothing? All the best to you and your family ♡

@llarsonvjc 14 дней назад

We did a combination of purees and BLW and it worked so well for us because it was very low pressure and flexible. After about 2 months of introducing different foods and allergens we mostly did BLW because I was much more comfortable. We absolutely loved following Solid Starts too to learn all things BLW, but this was before the app so I’m sure it’s improved the process even more! Excited for you guys because it’s such a fun milestone! 😊

@michellereedg 14 дней назад

@paigesmith3812 14 дней назад

With our boys we did purées early to add calories with our first (ped recommended on top of full formula feeds). With our second we tried a couple of purées at 6 months and he refused them, so we just started with soft foods. It wasn’t fully baby led weaning but just the soft foods that we were eating or steamed veggies. Both of mine were eating a variation of almost all of our food by 8 months.

@margarethaws473 10 дней назад

Okay I'm glad it's not just me with nuuly issues! My sister has used nuuly for a year and had the same experience as you with things being new and good quality - but I started 2 months ago and have had so many issues. Multiple pieces were torn, they forgot to send pieces, things are dyed an off color, super worn etc. I'm liking it for being postpartum but am disappointed by the quality!

We had a few tornado watches in April too. The rainiest and warmest April on record here! I know there are still some upcoming in TX so stay safe! Love your daily vlogs the most especially because we have sons 3 weeks apart. I had him try purees starting 4 months of age because he showed he was ready, he loves it. He has two bottom teeth that have been working on coming in the past month and now they're right at the top (almost out) Goodness they're growing up too fast

@4Devi15 14 дней назад

The baby silicone feeders (like a pacifier with holes) are amazing to start if he is also teething. I mush banana in then freeze it. You can mush in strawberries, grapes, watermelon, avacado, steamed sweet potato, etc

@laurenorona5861 13 дней назад

I was really nervous starting BLW! But I followed my instincts and my baby’s cues and did majority soft foods and purées, then worked up to more “solid” food. Their little tummies also can’t handle a lot of denser food either so I just went at my own pace :)

@brookehill4327 11 дней назад

We did baby led weaning. I used the Solid Starts app as my bible for the first 6 months of my baby eating! Lol. It was such an awesome experience for our baby to eat what we were eating with us. And she still does. She loves eating all of our food and she is open to all food and is not aversive to anything. BLW was successful in our case & I will definitely be doing it with our next!

@erinnorton7711 13 дней назад

I did baby led weaning with my first daughter, I just had my second in February. But my first did so so well on BLW, she eats anything, not picky at all. The only thing she won’t eat is raw onions, but loves them pickled or cooked. I think a huge part of her being so open and accepting of foods is the BLW, and also that I’ve never made her separate meals. She eats what my husband and I eat. I’m going to do the same with my second when that time comes. I used the Jennifer House “The Parent’s Guide to Baby-Led Weaning” as my reference to get started.

Haha I just had to say that I also tried the one pan lemon yogurt chicken, rice, and broccoli recipe and thought it was so bland.

Starting solids (this word also irks me lol) was intimidating for me too! I had a lot of anxiety around it so we did a hybrid approach as well. I also followed Solid Starts & that app is SOOOO helpful!!! I feel like the baby food world is almost as divisive and opinionated as the baby sleep world lol so if it's any encouragement, just do what's best for you & Connor & your family, and don't listen to others' unsolicited opinions and/or advice that makes you feel overwhelmed!
