BLW

We’re planning on starting puréed tastes from next week (5 months) but probably won’t start with BL or proper solids until 6. Our little girl is also showing signs x

I think it’s common to show interest in food before their digestive systems are ready for it. Best to stick to 6 months, my HV said early weaning can increase risk of IBS later in life & allergies.

I started my 5 month on organic purees & organic baby rice. Having no issues..

@Emelie when I hear this it makes me wonder, how about all the generations before that were weaned at 3 months including ourselves. I think IBS is more to do with the food we’re all eating these days - full of rubbish preservatives, additives and chemicals.

I know! and I guess IBS is common. And some people say all the sugary processed food children were fed in the 90s has helped cause high rates of ADHD too 😬

I’d personally wait until 6 months, the national health service has endless years of research and I don’t understand why people wouldn’t follow it. I know it’s cute to watch babies eat but save yourself the pennies and wait till 6m 🤍 like other comments early weaning has been linked to future problems that many adults are having

@Emelie I’m waiting till 6 months. Not sure to do purses or baby led, just nervous about the step up form milk to baby led

If it helps my mum weaned me very young I think 3 months and I’ve got really bad digestion issues now.
