I love this video! I’m a nutritionist and I have a 20 month old boy. I tend to feed him lots of fruits and veggies since we started solids and he loves them. I make sure he’s getting plenty of nutritious foods from all foods groups. I get people asking why I don’t give him high sugary juices or candy or junk foods and I always say because the food I feed him the first few years are for his growth and development. It sets the tone for his life. A sugary juice isn’t giving him any nutrient. I’m not saying I won’t ever let him eat it but right now isn’t the time.

Most people in Nigeria don't go to the dentist all their lives and their teeth remains perfect. I was so surprised when I moved to America and someone was shocked I have never seem a dentist. She said it can't possibly be with that teeth. Not giving my life any sugars until they can take it themselves. I didn't know sugars existed as a kid, most of us in Nogeria didn't. Most packaged foods were for special occasions while day to day was natural / home processed foods

@Feignlander Год назад

Thank you so much for the video!! When it comes to reducing the risk of choking, what sizes (avocado, banana, squash) should be avoided, and is it better to make foods less mushy, or more? We introduced steamed squash, however, our 6month old would squeeze the large crescent slices into much smaller pieces and I’m not sure if that defeated the purpose of the large slice to begin with.

My baby is 8.Curious question-how is he taking solids after starting late?

@brittanylockwood6085 Год назад

Very informative. We started out on purées for two months using Yumi to get a variety of fruits and vegetables in. Especially since the time of year we started, the fresh fruit and vegetables were not great. Have since moved onto food and at 9 months, he’s doing great. He’s allergic to milk and salmon so far. With a sensitivity to bananas. So finding any form of yogurt with no milk that is not too thick is awful. It’s either super runny (basically purée which he hates now) or too thick. So we use the organic yogurt mills from a company that uses coconut milk instead. Overall he loves all food so far. We did offer blueberries and grapes at 7 months cup up and smooshed, and he loved them. So just kinda working and finding what is good for your baby. But very informative for next time when I want to start out with just BLW.

This is helpful thank you but I thought babies cannot have any dairy products until they are one, you suggested yogurt at six month! Now I am confused and I am getting ready to start my 6 months old on solids here in a week or so

should I have some medicine like benadryl in case there is an allergic reaction. I was looking at benadryl for children in the stores and it says for 2 years and older.

@shiwuming5829 Год назад

For baby has eczema, and eczema easily triggered when they touch on stuff. Would you recommend trying baby led weaning method or parents feed for the first 3-6 months. Does baby's first food has to be puree food like rice cereal or oatmeal cereal if my rice is an important food in my culture but not in my family? And does it matter if i introduce rice cereal for 3 days, and then switch to other first food introduced in this video?

@Theherbalempress Год назад

I read that in the beginning that food starting out should be mainly for tasting and they won’t be getting too many calories from it so to continue regular milk intake until they are eating more

@TheDoctorsBjorkman Год назад

Up until 9 months of age, the solids are just for tastes and learning to eat. Almost all of their daily nutrition should still come from breastmilk/formula. After that age they start to be eating more and their desire for milk may start to drop off a little. After 12 months of age, milk consumption should ideally be only about 16-24oz a day max.

@theeverydaysocialite Год назад

When do you move on from purees to self-feeding/hand-held foods like the avocado and banana?

@ASMRKay_ Год назад

Whenever you feel comfortable and baby can show they can swallow. Not everyone uses purées it’s not needed unless that’s easier for you. You can go straight to solids. Ask your pediatrician what they recommend though.

@TheDoctorsBjorkman Год назад

We actually didn’t use purées much at all. By having age-appropriate preparation of foods, babies can often start with many common whole foods. We loved the SolidStarts app for information about how to prep foods to be safe based on age.

Graham crackers, cheerios, the puffs and biscuits made for babies by gerber and other baby food companies? Where do those foods lie? In the first foods, or more advanced eaters or the foods best avoided? They were recommended when my older girls were babies but allot of recommendations have changed since then (14 years ago).
