When you started to wean...

Did you start on one meal a day, like porridge or rice. Or did you give other things too?

I took it slowly... Did breakfast for about a week/ten days and then i introduced lunch etc etc...
Breakfasts were baby rice with homemade fruit puree, or baby porridge made with formula!

We added a meal a week but tried not to give something new everyday invade of reaction. Introduced something new every 2-3 days. Xx

We are introducing the tastes before we introduce another meal coz he is still little but will prob do breakfast too in a couple of weeks!!

The advice I was given was the 4 day rule. Whenever you give LO a food for the first time, give the food for 4 days & dont introduce any more til after 4 days, this helps narrow it down incase of allergy.

We did breakfast for a week. Then lunch for a week, then dinner for a week.

We started slowly as well just a couple of different foods for tea to start with then over the course of a month we worked up to 3 meals. Its easy to get too enthusiastic and rush things but you need to watch for allergies, my friends baby boy has an egg allergy but luckily they had introduced it slow so it was easy for the doctor to pin point his reaction which was scary, a rash and swollen lips, luckily they got to a and e quickly and were given anti histamines.
