Too soon???? Okay maybe I won't start her on pork ribs quite yet. You must admit she does seem a little bit interested. So that begs the question: when is the right time to start to introduce food to this munchkin? As with any child rearing question, you get 9 different answers from 5 different people. Yes I know my math is whack. I am including all the steps back people take when giving you an answer. There is no for sure answer to this question...clearly.I don't want to rush her into it but the girl has been eying up my meals. She laughs when we chew she watches the fork go from plate to mouth. She is totally into it. I mean the kid has food envy, no doubt about it. She doesn't cry when we eat anymore because she is at the table with us and totally entertained.
From what I gather "they" recommend waiting until six months, but in the same breath say 4-6 months. Ay Ay ay.... I guess I will ask our doc. He is ever so insightful.... "I can't tell you what to do with your baby." Someone must be paranoid about malpractice... gees. Do I feed the kid yet or not dude?
I will keep this topic updated as I find more info or just make the call and do it. I am looking forward to making our own baby food. I even put some cute baby food cook books on my Amazon wish list. Maybe they will have some useful information on nutrition and feeding babies.... off I go to order them.
CONFESSION: I let her lick a peach..twice.........she liked it!
UPDATE: Doc gave the green light for cereal/oatmeal and veggies. Gotta wait until 6 months for fruit and meat. Not sure how this little carnivore is going to handle the news.
