Baby 1st food

Hi Parents, #firsttimemom #advicepls #firstbaby #weaning #firstfood What to introduce to baby as weaning first food? When and how to take? Can we take start when baby is 5’mths+ close to 6? Should we start off with cereal rice first or other foods? Can Gerber Cereal for Baby (Rice) be used? Please advice how your do it. Thanks

The PD was the one who gave me a go ahead at about 5 months. I start with cereal but after that moved on to making purées like sweet potato, carrot and broccoli. Sometimes I mixed them in cereal too

I started feeding my LO at 5 months and I suggest that before your LO turns 6 months, its better to start with fruits/vege purée first. Since I’m a working mummy, i just bought gerber 1st food purées :)

Ok. Thanks alot

I introduced puree to my son when he was 5+ months. You can try Rafferty’s Garden (available in NTUC) 👍

I start giving powdered brown rice mixed in milk formula at 4mo
