re: My little baby boy....

That is crazy, way to young his digestive system can't tolerate that kind of food yet..

Because you were there so you can clearly tell me what he does/doesn't want.
If he didnt want it im sure he would spit it out and scream his little lungs out.

They don't have near the vitamins and minerals that breast milk does - so if you're skipping breast milk feedings to give him table food, you're basically filling him up with something less nutritious. Also putting him at higher risk for developing food allergies, obesity, etc. And as mentioned before, it's not good for his digestive system.

Fruit (and some veggies) actually have a very high glycemic index.

ETA: He's 15 weeks old...just because he wants it doesn't mean it's a good idea. And a nurse told you that? Well, I'm a nurse, and I'm telling you it's a bad idea. You should definitely discuss it with your pediatrician.

You are in a different country then us. I just looked up and saw that over there, they recommend solids to started at 4 months and NO LATER then 6 months, due to them believe it cuts down on allergies to foods ( or something). It's different over here. Most pedi's will tell you 6 months at the earliest, but they don't NEED solids till after a year.

I started DD on purees at 4 or so months... only little bits here and there, nothing big! You know your child better than anyone else.

Authorities in several Western countries1, 2 recommend that solids should not be introduced before 4 months and should be offered no later than 6 months. This does not mean every baby should begin at 4 months, rather at some point in between these two ages, when the baby shows readiness. The Australian Society for Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) supports this and has influenced many health professionals' recommendations. In the food allergy articles in the November 2012 issue of Community Paediatric Review, two paediatric allergists from the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne recommend introducing solids around 6 months.
The advice to begin solids before 6 months is based on several recent population studies, mostly from Europe.3 These have suggested that introduction and frequent exposure to food allergens from 4-6 months reduce the risk of allergies rather than increase it.

He still has breast milk every feed.
Pretty sure it's better then formula.

Because I'm sure that your three month old told you he wanted something.
Just because he likes it doesn't mean it's healthy for him. It's not. At all.

Quoting elle-marisha:" He still has breast milk every feed. Pretty sure it's better then formula."

That's funny, because in your original post you said every other feed is a breast feed. Way to change your tune now.

And in the end of her OP, she states they wash it down with a breastfeed.

Does it matter? It's her child, and she was advised by a health care professional it was okay. I mean granted, can't always TRUST your dr.'s etc but good lord. It's not like she's giving him ice cream, fruit roll ups, and soda.

It's FRESH fruits and veggies she puree's herself.

He's 4 months in almost a week.
The nurse is a maternal child and health nurse -like a paediatrician.
He's happy. I'm happy.
If your not being happy for us then go away.

I'd rather give my 15week old formula then shove solid fruits and veggies down his throat that could mess up his digestive system.

Okay, well those are completely contradictory statements, lol.

Do what you want. But when you post something in a public forum, be prepared for opinions. If you can't handle it, think twice before posting.
