Tell me your experience.
When did you start offering foods, what did you give him/her?
How often did you offer foods, and how long did it take for him/her to be interested?
Ria is 6 months, I have given her banana, but she just smooshes and smears it. lol She gets upset when we're eating, and makes chewing motions so seems like she wants some but never eats anything and doesn't try to pick anything up.
he wasn't ready till about 8 months
The next was stealing food already at 5.75 months....
I started offering, usually banana or avocado, around 6 months. She didn't start actually eating until closer to 7.5 months, when one day she grabbed my sandwich out of my hands and started eating it! Haha
my first was 9 months ole before he ate any food. i just offered what we ate. or wouls steam up other veggies or fruits and let him have at it. his favs were pumpkin, apples,gr.
apes, pears,green beans, yellow and red peppers. and white beans. he ate what he wanted and nursed
my second is 11 months old and is just starting to eat on his own. we due purees right now with him its easier due to his heart defect it uses less energy. burn less calories eatting so he can gain weight. hes offered everything we eat.
about 6 months with my youngest two, they started playing with it at first and then moved to eating it (it's how they learn). sometimes convincing them to take the first bite is difficult depending on the child. we started with avacado, banana, green beans, sweet potato fries
