I’m very happy to have advise from nice strangers, and I thank you all. I realize that breast feeding as late as you can for babies is very important. I will wait until Jordy’s teeth start to appear before introducing solids. Thank you ikn for sharing your experience (I will start with an organic apple too!) and I encourage others to share your experience feeding your children for the first time.

Hello rawquad, My son is three and a half, still breastfed occasionnally but less and less. I believe the right moment to give solid food to a breastfed baby (i don’t know for the others) is when the baby tries to grab pieces of food to taste it, and not until this moment arrives. Mine started interesting himself in solid food when he was one year old. I gave him whole pieces of apple or banana, never pureed nor cooked. He liked it like that, was doing a real mess but enjoyed it. Now he eats A LOT!!! all day long! he is like a giant stomach! and mostly fruit, and cooked starches, no meat because he doesn’t want to, nor vegs, once or twice a months he wants cheese too. Babies’ instinct is the best, I just regret I wasn’t raw nor had heard of it when he was younger, otherwise I would have tried to keep him raw too. Now he knows cooked food, sweets, chips, but well he is not so badly fed. I completely messed up with my older son though… he is 11 and pure cooked protein and fats :( I was badly informed when he was a baby. Have a lot of joy with your little Jordy :)
