Introducing Solid Foods to Your Baby Takes Time

Hopefully you have already started to feed your baby some solids as they get past four months. Generally you start off with rice cereals and get them used to the idea of taste and texture of a rice cereal in their mouth. This can take a little bit of time and also records patients remember so far all they had taken is breast milk or formula milk so it does take them a little bit of time to get used to the idea of taking solids. This is also a good time for parents because hopefully your babies night-time sleeping will start to stretch out a little bit longer and you and your baby will have less interruptions simply because they're little tummy is a little bit fuller because of taking solids.

As they move into five months of age and older you will start to introduce some other cereal options and hopefully some veggies. If you have been following many guidelines you will be feeding your baby solids at their last bottle or glass breast-feed in the evening this hopefully will assemble the little bits at a sleep longer. You now need to start adding in a late lunch or late morning time feed into your schedule. This helps they space out the meals adequately. Always introduce any new foods from now on at lunchtime this is for a couple of reasons because one child may not like it and you can still have other options. If they for some reason have an allergy to a particular food you will be able to monitor your baby during the daytime. You will see simple things like diarrhea, gas, rash around their mouth, crankiness, and diarrhea. But hopefully he will have none of these issues.

Remember you need to puree the vegetables as you start to get used to your baby. Some will completely reject them and have no interest in them whatsoever so it's important for you as a parent to try and entice them into tasting you can try to mix them with cereal because your baby will recognize the texture of this and will start to adjust to the combination of foods over time you reduce the amount of cereal until you get to the 100% pureed vegetable meal.

You will find many ideas out there from parents who start their baby on pureed vegetables it's always advised never to feed them what you are eating in case they have some type of food allergies so never give them sweets, soda or anything like this because if you find they like the taste of sweet food it might be difficult to get them to eat cereal and veggies.
