My son is eating a couple of tablespoons of cereal each day mixed with formula by spoon. He has become very interested in the foods that my dh and I eat when he sits alongside us at the dinner table. He is 5 and 1/2 months old and weighs 20lbs. Do you think he is ready to try to eat vegetables and fruits? Should I start the food trial process or should I wait till he is 6 months old?
I started at about that age, but many moms on this board wait until at least 6 months as refluxers tend to be a bit more sensitive than other babies. If you think he can handle it, I would probably wait the two weeks and then go from there.
