Food at 5 months

Dear Mummies and Experts, how old was ur baby when you start introducing purees? My LO is turning 5mths this weekend and lately he has been doing this sucking gesture and drools alot. He focuses w/o a twitch when he sees me and my husband eats. Is this a sign that he wants to start eating already? Any advise☺️

Depending on what kind of purée. My Pd cleared my girl to start purée because she was ahead of her milestone. We started on fruits / vege purée at 4.5 months old

Is your baby sitting upright well already? If so, can try to introduce a little by a little. Otherwise hold on till 6 months.

His head is steady when we carry him or let him do tummy time. But not sitting upright on his own yet😬

If he can sit up unsupported, with good neck support, you can try feeding some cereals when he is 5.5 months.

Yes, he’s probably wanting to try out the food and drooling means he’s teething.

Yes he drools alot. That makes me think that he wants to eat 😄

6 month. But if he show readily can feed alrdy. Some start at 4-5 month

Avocados sounds great! Okie will consider giving this to my LO when he’s ready😊
