Baby fruit pouches

[mummy2903]

I have started giving my 4 month old fruity pouches and would like to know why some are for 4month plus and some for 7 month plus babies . If it is just pure fruit why would it be for different age range.

could i not just blend my own banana's and peaches for her ?

Oh my gosh, I’m new to mumsnet and I’m horrified at the abuse being thrown at this poor OP for asking an innocent question. Not everyone is expected to know everything about babies and it has no connection to her intelligence as you’ve alluded to.

OP ignore all these vicious women! You’d have thought you asked about thoughts on giving your baby a tipple before bed.

in answer to your question, I would wait till 6 months simply because it’s a mess and a faff. I’ve recently weaned my baby and I make as much as I can myself but Ella’s are convenient for when I can’t manage.
You’re doing an amazing job!! 😘

I didn’t make any comment about the OPs intelligence @Flowergirl89 that’s your interpretation and says more about what you actually think about the OP. I said she was a good and capable parent 🤷‍♀️ But it is a parents’s job to be clued up on the basics - that’s nothing to do with intelligence, it’s just being bothered to do some basic research.
I take no issue with the OP at all.
I do take issue when posters use phrases like ‘amazing job’ and ‘highly capable’ when referring to just adequate parenting. That wouldn’t happen in any other aspect of life where someone is doing an okay job. Raising children is one of the most important jobs there is so it baffles me that the bar for such high praise is set so low.

@BeanieTeen regardless of all that, you could have made your point without putting down the OP. She’s a first time mother and obviously loves her baby and want the best for it. If you can be one thing in life, be kind!

Holy fuck the bar is on the floor. It's not much to ask that people read the guidelines, is it!? Loving your baby isn't really an excuse for just doing whatever you like without doing any research!

I’m speechless . What a hate filled place this forum is. Say it nicely, that’s all

People did say it nicely! And she went on to list even more things against safety advice that she’s doing. So people quite rightly told her this was wrong and she responded with insults. Be kind works both ways.

👍🏻 Very balanced article to counteract the knowall-ery (and downright nastiness to the OP)

@Flowergirl89 thank you for your support. I dont take any notice of the rudeness as i dont know any of these people but dont get me wrong i will be listening to the 6 month mark advice.

Im ok . Xx

This! I started weaning at 4 months cos mum insisted it was fine.

Child has ongoing gastro issues and I feel awful.

Do some research OP.
