6 to 9 MONTHS
6 Months is actually the recommended month to start feeding a baby but others do it before, well I choose 6 months because my kids were okay with the breast milk, they didn't cry a lot because some moms see that the baby is crying a lot and think it time to start the feeding, well I don't think that the case personally but obviously you do what you are comfortable with but for me, it really didn't go well, my child got sick and I just preferred to wait until 6 months because my kids don't usually get sick, Am a praying Mom so that about it.
So I started and thought my baby will want food more than breast milk, but that was not the case with my kids they wanted that breast milk more than the baby food or any solid food I try to give them, so I just took it slowly with the baby food and gave them the breast milk, but I didn't just stop feeding them I took it step by step, I don't rush my kids into eating I just let them start when they wanted to, like for example even pot training I just waited until they showed me they are ready, the sign I look at is a dry nappy when waking up in the morning, my 1st and 2nd born started having those dry nappies when they were 2- 3 years and than I knew they were ready and the accident in the bed, I didn't have them for a long time, it took 3-4 weeks and than since than my children don't peer in their beds at night since they were 3 years old, well I had a talk with them and said not in the bed in the toilet, they totally understood me was very Amazed because they just did it, the other 2 kids am still monitoring, It a 2-year-old and a 10-month-old.
So babies cry a lot but you'll start understanding those cries now, they will be more than just for a wet diaper for example they can be for a favorite toy, favorite food, etc. So just try to entertain those cries don't wait until the baby knows that if they want something they just have to cry and then they are going to get it, It is a very bad habit, even when you are at the mall you going to have a problem and you'll be so embarrassed, so be close to baby and make sure he does not learn those bad habits because they are not fun at all, I didn't experience them, but I look at the moms in the mall and wish I could talk to her but am very shy.
when I discipline my kids it is another thing, they just know that a no is a no.... when you stick to the no they will see that you are serious about it but when you live it hanging they would find it hard to take you seriously when you serious. There is a beautiful time to PLAY, PLAY and a not so Fun one which is disciplining your child, well you have to do what you have to do to raise Good behaving kids.
Get the baby on that high chair and start feeding baby little by little and be close and monitor your little one, you don't want your little bundle to choke and it will help you to see babies favorite food if you are close to him, what his picking and putting in his mount most on that high chair is probably going to be his favorites so look carefully and closely because everything baby picks ups gets into his mouth but when it comes to food, they are a type of foods that his just going to throw away or just play with it with his hand, it sometimes a sign that he is full or he just thinks they not tasty for him but the way it feels in his hand is just fun but not tasty and there is that food that going to get into his mount and you'll see a smile and he will keep on picking it up and putting it in his mouth, watch out for the one that his picking up the most and putting in his mount and continue giving him.
A FULL BABY IS A HAPPY BABY!!
