so this morning i woke up and got london ready for the day you know changed and bathed u know just every day normal stuff.....
so i had a jar of baby food it was BANANAS lol...okay so im like let me see if londons actually gonna eat it..mind you london is almost 4 months...u know so its the age where they are kinda confussed about the spoon...and other foods besides their milk...
sooooooo... london opens her mouths wide as ever and ate the bananas and she finished the entire jar it was toooo funny...i wish i had taken a picture of her little face with all of the food on it it was so cute....
BUT VERY MESSY!!!!!

She shouldn't have jar foods until 5 months or later, according to doctors.

docotors....
see this is where everyone goes kinda wrong u should listen to them but then again u shouldnt...becuase all of the kids in my family started jar foods at like 3months goin into four so....it isnt gonna do anything if u give them a little bit of jar food trust me and she loved it!

Feeding infants cereal and/or jar foods too early has shown to lead to childhood and/or adult obesity.

well the way i see it is this...if ur not over doing it...its fine
it isnt like im feeding her a jar a day or two jars...
its nothing major just was trying something out....

SO.... I know doctors said 4 to 6 months is about right for starting food... well I started Bella on Oatmeal at almost 3 months, and jar food at 4 months... she started eating biter biscuits at 7 months... well, she was trying to chew her oatmeal so I took that as a sign that she is ready for something new. Dont be afraid to feed her jar food. Bella is a year old now, eating almost anything I give her and she is GREAT. As her mommy it is your job to watch for what your baby wants because she will tell you. I think Doctors are so into books now days that they loose the human element and every person is different. I feel like you are doing the right thing...follow what your baby,and that maternal instinct is telling you and you are going to do great!!!! I wish you had taken a picture too.... because that would have been the picture of the week. I LOVE MESSY BABY SHOTS!!!

yea i know thats why u shouldnt always listen to them...
becuase then ur child is always gonna be hungry!!!!!!

to tell you the truth I could have kept a bottle in Bella's mouth 24/7 and she wouldnt have gained any weight until she was eating food still... I guess she has a high metabloisim or whatever, but Yeah she didnt gain hardly any weight until after I started her on food. she pooped and peed normal, but it was like the formula or Breast milk I offered wasnt enough. Oh when your baby gets big enough I want to see pics of her eating real Bananas, Bella LOVES them!!!

i started Christian on solids at 6 months, he loooves bananas and he always makes a mess!!!
be careful banana stains are sooo hard to remove!!!

lol yea i can not wait...
for her to eat real banana or any kind of real real food....

Quoting Spell Checker Girl:“ She shouldn't have jar foods until 5 months or later, according to doctors.”

4 to 6 months dear...it depends on the child. 5 months is not the magic number according to doctors.

Emily started on 1 stage food at 3 mts and 3 weeks roughly. She will be 5 mts. on the 8th. Her pedi said all babies are different. Some are ready for it, some aren't. I asked them before starting her. She would be in her highchair when we were eating lunch or supper and she litterally would open her mouth as we did then get mad because she didn't have anything. I gave she a spoon and bowl to play with while we ate and she would put the spoon to her mouth and try to eat and just get mad. So i called and they said to try her, but to watch she didn't choke or anything.

SoI tried her and she never choked and knew exactly what to do!

This was her right after she ate for the 1st time (it was green peas).
