Starting solid for baby

[bendi85]

Hi guys may I check if anyone has problem giving solid to your baby?
My baby 7 month now still don’t really like solid.
Quite worried as he’s quite light in weight.

give him some stuff like fruits etc apple and mango to encourage chewing ba

Depends on what you give. usually is apple. cut small piece and smash with a spoon. Does your baby grow teeth already? If not teeth how to bite.

Starting at 7mths, probably have to keep things mushy and soft. It's a long way to train the little one. They'll usually do alot better by 12mths.

12 Months should be the right time.

Yup I giving him cereal and fruits.
Try giving porridge but he always feel like gagging after a few mouthful.
Not sure why.

How light is light? Have you consulted a doctor?

They will come good in their own time. 7 months is still very young. Don't be under stress to compare your child with other children.

I have two children. The older one hated all kinds of food including milk and was super skinny until he started upper primary, while the younger one will accept anything we put in his mouth even at 6 months old.

Each child is different. Feeding should never be a growth milestone.

There is a kind of hunger called child not hungry but mother father very hungry.

As long as your baby is active doing baby things, don't worry about their feeding unless they are grossly under-weight and become lethargic.

The point is not to rush. They will eat when they are ready. You can mix those baby cereal with their usual milk so there's a familiar taste. If they reject, just stick to milk first. Can try papaya, pear or banana too.

Yes. This is the only golden rule for kids. They will be ready when they are ready.
