When did you start solids?

[linz]

Especially if you had preemies? I was hoping to start around 6 months. They're 5 now and I'm guessing weigh about 10 & 13 lbs. DS I'm pretty sure will be ready, DD is who I'm unsure on.

Mine weren't preemies, though did need a little extra time to gain weight before coming home.

We started solids at around 5 months - but it was very brief and more exploratory than anything.

I can't remember how much they weighed at 5 months. I know at 6 months they were between 17 and 18 lbs.

I want to say it was around 6 or 7 months where they really started to eat solids.

Good luck!

Mine were preemies. We started around 6 months actual with purees. I don't think they were actually eating eating until around 8/9 months. I didn't notice a decrease in formula until past a year and I started really pushing three meals a day with snacks. Now they eat everything in sight. Haha.

33 weekers and I think we started around six months with purees. Agree with everything that Narwhal said ^^!!
