Baby's first meal: a major step

A Baby's first meal is one of the major milestones in their development, along with learning to use a spoon and introducing vegetables at lunch.


  • The first meal is above all a sensory adventure, as your baby is still being fed breast milk or infant formula.
  • Lunchtime is still the best time to introduce him to mashed carrots or green beans.
  • If some moms are still bottle-feeding, you can introduce your baby to spoon-feeding!
  • For this first meal, two to three spoonfuls are enough, and you can top it off with the usual amount of milk.
  • Plan to take a few pictures, because this is an important moment for the parents.

With pregnancy, sleep and eating schedules fluctuate through each trimester..so honestly it's just something that happens sometimes

Waiting to do the three hour GD test on Monday, didn't pass my first, women with GD, how does your routine change? Is each case the same where you check your blood sugar every meal? Does it depend on how bad it is, and are there different types of GD? FTM, thank you!

There’s some worser then others. Some have to take medication to keep them up or to keep them down. Diet changes a lot! And for me I have to check my blood an hour after I eat and when I wake up.

You’ll have to have breakfast, Snack, Lunch, snack, dinner, Snack. It’s a little overwhelming at first and idk I guess some days I still get overwhelmed but it’s nice to be able to track your blood for the sake of yourself and the baby. Also, walking after meals helps with numbers. Good luck to you. I know a lot of women who fail the first test but pass the 2nd.

This baby is a monster! Dr gave us the green light to feed him some food and hes yelling at me the whole time to hurry up, your not going fast enough kind of yell. I swear I'm fumbling and dropping out of fear lol. He loves food just like me but boy is he a boss! Like "mom was that my bite you just ate"..a day ago I was so excited to feed him and now I'm sweating thru the meal trying to keep up. Definitely going to start feeding him first
