Weaning question

[Angeldelight21]

Mommas, we start weaning soon and was wondering if you steamed/cooked fruit at the beginning?

Also, did you introduce dairy (cheese, yoghurt) from the start or waited a month or so?

Thank you X

What age is your baby?
I gave dairy/cheese, etc at 6 months
Depends on the fruit and whether you are giving it as puree or finger foods as to whether you cook it first

We started with banana so no cooking there but apple of whatever we steamed and puréed.

I wouldn't introduce dairy until a few months in as they can have reactions. Our son came out in Hives despite zero family history of any allergies and it really freaked us out. We cut some help from a dietician and he can eat dairy now just fine but it was stressful at the time.

Hi OP - Download the solid starts app. It's a database of 100s of foods, how to serve depending on babies age, allergy risks etc. Their website also has some amazing resources and Instagram too

Depends on the fruit. Apple? Yes. Pear? Nope. (I didn't actually give fruit immediately - I started with only veg because didn't want him eating sweets all the time!)

Dairy is fine to give immediately, but I held off on cheese for a while because it's VERY salty.

Honestly you'll probably find at first that baby doesn't want much to eat, so don't stress too much initially

Start with veg, not fruit.
