you know what works better than ice cubes, muffin trays ,tho , works better for babies that havemaybe been having solids for a wee while

Yeah, the current recommendation is to wait till closer to 6mths for solids.
We started at 5.5 mths. I've known mums who stated at 4mths.
A bit of a personal choice I guess. And much like everything else I guess some babies really are ready sooner than others.
Iron stores start to deplete from 6mths (emphasis in start, it's not like one day happy baby, next day anemic baby). It also has to do with a change in breast milk contents which on average happens at 6mths. Progress formula (6mths +) has extra iron.
As for meat, that's from about 6mths. Fish is OK, but not shellfish/crustaceans - they come later.

I thought the recommendation these days was to wait for 6 months for solids, or am I totally wrong?]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:14:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32142&PID=963126&title=solids#963126 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32142&PID=962596&title=solids#962596 Author: Bombshell

they can have fish and meat from now..

i think more protein is good than a lot of carbs for the digestion

I have the latestest plunket info if you cant get it... happy to email it to you

Have you heard of BLW... its working awsome for us ]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 07:59:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32142&PID=961981&title=solids#961981 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32142&PID=961881&title=solids#961881 Author: hannibal

Four and a half months is probably still abit young for solids so I would only be giving the soft carrot and courgette at the moment. Do you have the plunket book it has a guide chart inside. I'm pretty sure fish is closer to a year old. ]]> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:58:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32142&PID=961881&title=solids#961881 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32142&PID=961707&title=solids#961707 Author: mollycat

I would give her another week limiting her intake just to make sure she doesn't get constipated and then go for it. They will stop eating when they are full. Just as long as you offer a milk feed first you should be fine. And yep - meat after 6 months.]]> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:49:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32142&PID=961707&title=solids#961707 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32142&PID=961657&title=solids#961657 Author: jano1

I think that they don't need meat or fish for a few more months. We held off until DS was 6 or 7 months as their digestive systems are not fully formed to process meat yet (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Also their iron stores start depleting around 7 months]]> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:08:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32142&PID=961657&title=solids#961657 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32142&PID=961625&title=solids#961625 Author: Bizzy

i would be inclined to err on the side of caution and not give her more... just to give her little body a chance to cope with the food... cause dont forget what goes in must come out too!

and the milk is still more important...

A question....I started my baby on solids almost 2 weeks ago. I gave her some carrot and courgette tonight which she loved. She ate all I gave which I thought was plenty and she was looking around for more. On occasions like this should I give her more? How do I know how much to give her? She does seem to grizzle when she has had enough. Can I over feed her on solids?
When can I start her on fish and meat?

Thanks for any feed back in advance!
