he's ready girl! as long as he's got a good idea of how to chew, and the foods are in small enough pieces that he won't choke, then you're fine!
@Yaz Phew! I’ll check out the Facebook page, thank you! ☺️
@Sarah Oh, he’s chewing his heart out, and he looks like a little turtle when he does — why is that so cute 😩💕
They can use their gums! 6 months we started :)
We did purees from 4 to 6 months then started self fed solids from there. Some kids start earlier and some kids start later, but him diving for your food is an unambiguous "I'm ready" in my books lol
We did baby led weaning from the start at 6m - the ‘solid starts’ app (and instagram page) is an amazing resource on how to safely serve all different foods!
My son started eating at 5 months and by 6 months was eating rice, beans, meats, veggies etc.
We started from 6 months as we did baby led weaning from the start :) they have hard gums so defo don’t need teeth for whole foods! It’s not too late for you to start and it’s a great sign he’s wanting to try! As long as the foods are modified correctly to minimise choking risk, you’ll both do great. There’s a facebook page called ‘weaning the blw way’ which is a great resource for this.
