Definitely talk to your doctor about when to start feeding your baby solids. Most people start around 6 months old but some babies are ready a little sooner. I agree it's easy to forget what you did with previous babies -- I couldn't remember a lot of things I did with baby #1 by the time I got to baby #5!
What no one seems to answer for me is how often in a day should your baby be eating food? Twice a day? I'm stuck on this one. My daughter is only 3 months at the moment but will be starting solid foods next month. I want to be ready with all the information I need to know. Brilliant video, by the way. Very informative. I just need to know how often the baby can have food. xx
+G La Doctors advise to start solids at 4 months for formula fed babies and 6 months for breastfed babies. Since breastmilk is way more healthier than formula, solids can be delayed past 6 months. When the baby is more hungry, start solids. One has to use their initiative and go by the babies cues.
hi Melissa my son is 7months he started solid food at 6months I am breastfeeding so does my baby only get stage 1 foods and for how many months of age does he stay on stage 1 also what type of food example breakfast: porridge Lunch: Apple Dinner: Sweet Potato Do I give him theses foods listed above for at lease 3-4 days and then try different single foods can I add cow milk or greek yogurt or cheese to his foods
As the Mother... you decide what schedule is best for your baby. Don't go by what someone advises on a youtube video. I was confused too but I just used my own initiative. Try giving your baby a small portion of fruits or vegetables perhaps once a day. See how the baby likes it. Then go to two times a day and then three. Always give your baby breastmilk first and then after 30mins - 1 hour, try giving the baby some food and see how the baby goes. I have just started solids with my 10 month old... yes 10 month old. This is my first baby. I have kept her on breastmilk all this time and would give her banana/strawberry etc every so often but not everyday. She has never spat up the food. She is content. You decide what you want to do, you carried the baby for 9 months not the doctors. You know your baby better than anyone else. You know whats best and I trust you will make the right decision. All the best.
Hi Melissa Thanks for such nice video I need you to ask which chicken you boiled for baby food the one on bone or boneless and did u added the same soup in puree or plain water ? I hope u reply
ummm i never knew we could feed are babies at 4 months and well my son is about 8 weeks going on 9 weeks so i do have a 3 year old and a 4 year old they eat very well but my son is very picky but i lost track of when they were newborns and when to give them solids.. doctors thought just because i had two kids i would magically know everything which they were wrong i have short term memory lose so i forget easy.. but this helped me out so much thank you.. very much
Hi Melissa! thanks for all the very informative videos especially for new moms like me. I just want to ask how you heat up the defrosted foods. Do you use the microwave or steam them again? Again, thanks and keep up the good work!
***** HI Florence, I love your name -- is it French? I never used the microwave for my babies. I put the frozen food into lukewarm water and let it defrost. You can also take it out of the freezer and put it in the fridge. I think if the water is too hot that, as with breast milk, the food can loose some of its nutrients. Thanks for watching!
Hello, I have a question... I want to make my own baby food, and I've been told that you can add breast milk. Can I add defrosted bm to pre-puree food, and then freeze finished puree? I ask because I thought that once breast milk is defrosted, you can't freeze it again.
Thank you so much! You can find all my videos on feeding baby solid foods, including stage 2, stage 3 and finger foods on my website CloudMom.com I hope you check them out!
Hi Bobbi -- I really don't know about cheese puffs -- they have other teething biscuits which might provide more relief -- but I don't know that they're harmful... they might have alot of salt for a baby, though. xo M
I'm making my stage 1 and 2 baby food too, But good video for when I may have to buy some at the store as well. Can you make more vids on making baby food at home? New subscriber!
Melissa would it be possible if you could give my a weekly menu planner for my 7month old son he is nearly 8months he started solid food at 6 months much appreciate it thank you
💕Presouz💕 great question!! Get a blender or nutribullet and buy veggies from the store and purée them up with breast milk or formula until they’re basically soupy and it works great! You can make a weeks worth of food in 30 minutes. Bonus points if you grow the food in your own garden! Hope it goes well
I have a quick question kind of off topic but seeing as your a mommy with some experience I have to ask. My mom gave me cheese puffs when I was teething and some times my 3 month old son wont take his bottle or anything would it be ok if I gave him a cheese puff to gum on as long as I watched him closelly?
were can i buy the born free bottles besides on line my baby loves them and i have some but i got them as a gift i want to buy the bigger ones since he's older
I give my 4mount baby start to give him food,but the problem is after four days i give him,he not bowel almost 3 days,before i give him solid food he always bowel everyday,is this normal or not? Pardon for my english not well,i wish u answer me as soon as possible,thk u
My baby is 5 months old. And his weight is 6.2 KGS is it normal.... .he's not interested in solids ..what do I do to make him gain weight and his appetite
You should definitely check with your doctor, but a lot of doctors say they don't HAVE to start eating solids until 6 months. Also, I would just take your baby's cues, and just make sure they are getting lots of breast milk or formula - that's where they get most of their nutrition for the first year.
I just started my baby today on solids. Her pediatrician told me to use Gerber and only get her rice because she needs the iron in it. She refused to eat it so I blended up some fresh peas and put a small spoon full in with the rice. This was a suggestion my pediatrician gave me. She loved it and I play to keep doing this for the next few days to be sure she has no allergies to the rice or peas. My pediatrician also said fruits are the last thing you want to introduce a baby to. Get them started of vegis first other wise they will not want the vegis because they will want the sweetness of the fruit instead.
Mahmood Elatar how is it time consuming? Compared to feeding your baby sugar and preservatives? , if you can't spare time for your baby you should not have any
Racheal Kirby girl if you don't stfu!!!!! making it yourself dont have the EXTRA VITAMINS the baby need. she can buy hers if she want. stfu trick!!!!!!! you cant tell no one not to have a child. ugly!
I perfer making homemade. you can make a good amount and store the rest with the fraction of the price you would pay buying jars and pouches. And preparation is easy. Peel, chop, steam and smush. and thats it. One veggie or fruit makes multiple servings.
Dramia Chalmers home made is better girl dont believe for 1 second that jar is fresher or healthier than freshly prepared at home. you know what goes in your baby foid but jar is actually pumped with stuff to keep long shelf life. its like comparing frozen ready meals And we all know how thees are bad for us. its just lazyiness when people want to use jars. but eatch to their own.
how in the world is grains and meat classified as a stage 1 food??? fruits are much easier to digest. next would be veggies, then grains, and fourth would be meat. this video is very misleading
Malcolm Xaiver it’s actually not since it’s true! Starting a baby on fruits (which is sweet) will most likely have baby turn away from veggies. Common sense
Malcolm Xaiver lol you have no idea what you’re even talking about. Doctors now recommend that meats be introduced along with fruits and veggies at 6 months. You’re ignorant.
Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever said who? Lmao a baby needs breastmilk or formula until they’re are one year old, you cannot give a baby cows milk before they turn 1. It’s common sense

Do we feed our baby the rice cereal 🥣 first and then their regular bottle right after?

4 months is really too young to start solids. talk to your pediatrician.
+G La Doctors advise to start solids at 4 months for formula fed babies and 6 months for breastfed babies. Since breastmilk is way more healthier than formula, solids can be delayed past 6 months. When the baby is more hungry, start solids. One has to use their initiative and go by the babies cues.
My baby is 4,1/2 months I just started rice cereal with breast milk one time in a day
Can someone tell me if I should mix with cold water if I wanted to eat it as an adult?
BananaTheorist
hi Melissa my son is 7months he started solid food at 6months I am breastfeeding so does my baby only get stage 1 foods and for how many months of age does he stay on stage 1 also what type of food example
breakfast: porridge
Lunch: Apple
Dinner: Sweet Potato
Do I give him theses foods listed above for at lease 3-4 days and then try different single foods can I add cow milk or greek yogurt or cheese to his foods
Best video thank you so much
Thank you for your videos. They are very helpful for me and my baby:)
Which blender do you use to make purees?
I have a question do u give the same food for breakfast
I am planning to breast feed until I cannot anymore, how do you schedule introducing food and nursing?
Hello, my little one is 5months and I ebf. What did add to the chicken when you blended it? Does it matter if the chicken or fruits are organic?
Do i feed him lunch and dinner or just lunch?
how often do you feed them? I'm a breastfeeding mom and just gave my son his first food. How many times. a week or day should I be giving this to him?
As the Mother... you decide what schedule is best for your baby. Don't go by what someone advises on a youtube video. I was confused too but I just used my own initiative.

Hi Melissa
Thanks for such nice video
I need you to ask which chicken you boiled for baby food the one on bone or boneless and did u added the same soup in puree or plain water ? I hope u reply
Sadaf Zareen Hi Sadaf -- I used boneless organic chicken for that video -- not sure what your question is re the soup -- pls explain -- xi
ummm i never knew we could feed are babies at 4 months and well my son is about 8 weeks going on 9 weeks so i do have a 3 year old and a 4 year old they eat very well but my son is very picky but i lost track of when they were newborns and when to give them solids.. doctors thought just because i had two kids i would magically know everything which they were wrong i have short term memory lose so i forget easy.. but this helped me out so much thank you.. very much

This is a great help thank you, can I ask what's your thoughts on baby led weaning?.
Thank you so much! You can find all my videos on feeding baby solid foods, including stage 2, stage 3 and finger foods on my website CloudMom.com I hope you check them out!
What do I do if I don’t have breast milk, can J buy it on amazon?
Oh I forgot to add would you have any tips like would any blender with puree setting work??
Can you mix baby food and cereal as breakfast as a better taste
Helpful video
Hi Bobbi -- I really don't know about cheese puffs -- they have other teething biscuits which might provide more relief -- but I don't know that they're harmful... they might have alot of salt for a baby, though. xo M
Do you need to warm the food, or served at room temp?
Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever Smart Ass

When boiling chicken or beef for baby, there's no need for salt and seasoning cubes right?
Ayomide Olatunji You’re right
What about studies of high amounts of arsenic found in baby cereal???
Hm, I have not heard of these studies. I will be looking into this, thanks for sharing!
Yes. I found out about that too. It freaked me out. I'm buying my granddaughter oatmeal instead of rice because of the arsenic.
Similar or equal amounts of arsenic is in table rice adults eat and fruit or vegetable will have some amount of toxins
How many times a day should we be offering the solids to a baby and what about the milk? Should we be offering the milk first or the solid?
Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever that’s not true , your babies diet should still be mainly breast. Milk
Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever you’re trash

Getting ready to introduce your baby to solid foods? Here's my video introduction. Hope you like it! xo Melissa
I meant you added the same water in which you boiled the chicken or plain water to make. Chicken puree.
Thank you for your help

Dont ask people online, talk to your babys pediatrician ONLY.
My baby is 5 months old. And his weight is 6.2 KGS is it normal.... .he's not interested in solids ..what do I do to make him gain weight and his appetite

I love your videos!
Detailed info
Rice cereal is no good now. Organic or not.Try multigrain cereal. Look it up. Its 2019 news.
is the first stage started from 4 mnth ?
I just started my baby today on solids. Her pediatrician told me to use Gerber and only get her rice because she needs the iron in it. She refused to eat it so I blended up some fresh peas and put a small spoon full in with the rice. This was a suggestion my pediatrician gave me.

My pediatrician also said fruits are the last thing you want to introduce a baby to. Get them started of vegis first other wise they will not want the vegis because they will want the sweetness of the fruit instead.
Homemade food is better
Mahmood Elatar agree -- just time consuming!
Mahmood Elatar how is it time consuming? Compared to feeding your baby sugar and preservatives? , if you can't spare time for your baby you should not have any
Racheal Kirby girl if you don't stfu!!!!! making it yourself dont have the EXTRA VITAMINS the baby need. she can buy hers if she want. stfu trick!!!!!!! you cant tell no one not to have a child. ugly!

Hi my baby boy just 3 month old and he won't drink with bottle what I can do
AMIN ABDULLAH hello C WQx``````````````
how in the world is grains and meat classified as a stage 1 food??? fruits are much easier to digest. next would be veggies, then grains, and fourth would be meat. this video is very misleading
Malcolm Xaiver actually if you stary with sweet food (fruits) it will be harder for the baby to lile salty ones.
Liz Gaby thats the crazy thing I ever heard lol. Point is is that fruits are the easiest food to digest. And we are frugivores naturally
Malcolm Xaiver it’s actually not since it’s true! Starting a baby on fruits (which is sweet) will most likely have baby turn away from veggies. Common sense
Malcolm Xaiver lol you have no idea what you’re even talking about. Doctors now recommend that meats be introduced along with fruits and veggies at 6 months. You’re ignorant.
Because some babies live on the coastline
awesome, thank you.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
My baby is 2 months and I feed her rice cereal in a bottle. It's ver liquid though
Really helpful
can you still breastfeed as well? my son will be four months in two weeks
Autumn Lee yes my dr recommended to breastfeed first and later on on that day to offer my baby some cereal, just once a day
Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever said who? Lmao a baby needs breastmilk or formula until they’re are one year old, you cannot give a baby cows milk before they turn 1. It’s common sense
Nikki Bentley Is My Angel whatever you say lol
my baby is 8 months and doesnt even like the smell of food
keep trying, you can making color and cute baby food, I am a mom of 7 m babygirl and I am sharing some baby cooking on my channel.

new AAP REGULATIONS AND WHO RECOMMENDS NO SOLIDS BEFORE 6 MONTHS OF AGE... BREASTMILK ( OR FORMULA ) SHOULD BE THEIR ONLY SOURCE OF NUTRITION.
ugh really needed how much milk and cereal to combine to get that. not very helpful.
Talk to your pediatrician since your advising that to others... SMH!
