  1. About 5-6 months is a good time. They should be teething by then, so that's ususally the ideal time to start.
  2. I started around 6 months or when they started getting in their first tooth. That's an indicator that you baby is ready to eat solid foods.
  3. You can start whenever s/he starts showing an interest in food...my daughter would always watch intently while I was eating so I decided to give it a try and she loved it! Whenever you are comfortable!
  4. 6 months www.wholesomebabyfood.com Great site. I used it with my daughter and will again with my son. Tells you what they can eat and when. I also made all her food. Was a lot cheaper! Buy ice cube trays and freeze the food in there then drop the cubes in a freezer bag and your set. Each cube is an ounce.
  5. My elder daughter who is 3 and half now started eating baby food when she was 4 months old. I started her early as I was unable to breastfeed her. My second daughter started when she was 5/6 months. She breastfeed till she was 1 and half years along with having solid food.
  6. My son is 4 1/2 months. We started baby food a couple times a day at 3 months. EDIT- Dont understand the THUMBS DOWN's I got..I did what my Dr suggested since my son was 19lbs at 3 months and the formula was not satisfying his hunger very long. He is 4 1/2 months and 23lbs..You try feeding a child that big just formula and see if you dont feed him every hour. The baby food has a lot less fat than formula and he is going alot longer between feedings so A THUMBS DOWN to you people who know nothing about my son or my situation...lemme guess...Ima have a lot more thumbs downs...
  7. I started at almost 4 months because nothing I did could fill my son up.
  8. My pediatrician approved it at 4 months.
  9. I started at five months when she started showing an interest in food.
