I have heard loads recently about weaning your baby and am about to start this process in a couple of weeks and would like to know what people would advise to start my baby with first. It seems that most or a lot of mums start their baby on baby rice for the first days but I have heard recently that this contains toxins that are in arsenic poisoning, which has worried me a bit. I am planning to give my baby his first spoonful of food somewhere in the morning between his first and second bottle feed but am wondering what would be good/ideal to try first for the first few days. Do people think go for baby rice, baby porridge that you mix with baby milk, baby porridge from a jar or something completely different? I like the idea of boiling my own pieces of pear and blending that and possibly adding some formula milk but I'm not sure if this should be one of his first tastes of better for later after a breakfast type food is tried first. Can anyone advise or share their opinions?
Also when babies first try foods are they likely to experience tummyache or gripe while their bodies are getting used to the food, and should I expect this?
A friend of mine suggests that I buy the Annabel Karmel complete guide to weaning baby book. I think its called something like that or meal planner.
Any advice appreciated and thank you in advance!
