Focus on baby's diet month by month
Your baby is growing at an incredible rate... and so are his nutritional needs, which is why his diet must evolve month after month.
- From birth to 4 months, the baby is fed exclusively with milk, breast milk, or bottle, each family has its ideal solution.
- From 4 to 6 months, food diversification makes its appearance, but purees and compotes are limited to a few spoonfuls.
- From 6 to 8 months, the baby starts to have real meals, sometimes supplemented by a little milk.
- From 8 to 12 months, there are usually 4 meals and they are increasingly varied, with food chunks making their appearance.
- From 12 months onwards, the baby can adopt a diet almost identical to the rest of the family!

How much should a one month old newborn eat?? I've heard mixed answers on 2-3oz every 2-3 hours for about 2 months and then I've heard by the end of the first month they should be having 4oz and then the 2nd month up to 6oz. Should I just fill up to 4oz and see what my baby drinks??

I’ve always started my babies on baby food/rice cereal at 4 months. It “use to be” 4 months and then they changed it to 6 but I never go by that. It’s a parents personal choice when you feel they are ready

yea i have definitely been thinking about it. i let him try it and he loved it but i didn’t know if that made me a bad mom for starting him early 🫠. he’s just going through a growth spurt so i think introducing those would definitely help especially the rice

I started right at 5m. I made her green beans she ate that for 7 days straight . Next 7 days she had carrots . Next days 7 butternut squash & soon she’ll be trying avocado. I buy the stuff and steam and blend it . Just add a little milk .. it’s easier than you think.

The “rules” are always changing. 4 years ago with my daughter it was exclusively milk/formula until 6 months but I think now people start introducing solids around 4 months if the pediatrician clears it… long story short, ask their dr :)

At what month did you start giving your baby purees and regular food other than milk?
Jade
I started at 7 months with my daughter I had last year. Due to the shortage in formula I took her of formula early anf gradually moved her to table food. She was sitting on her own and crawling by that time as well. You don't want to start to early to where the baby is still spitting up. I'd honestly say it's up to the development of your baby. My older kids I waited until around 10 months . My last daughter was just different.

We started purees at 3.5 months! He’s was able to hold his head up for hours on his own, sit assisted/was able to sit in a high chair without slouching and was interested in food! Will start BLW when he’s ready 🙂
