I started giving my kids fruit at the age of about 4 months old. They did really good on them. I started with banana's and I think it was pears. I did not start vegetables until they were 1 year old. I hope this helps.

No they did not. But there too when my kids got constipated I put a bit of prune juice mixed with water n their bottle.

Baby food - When is the right time to give a baby fruits and veggies
Try gerber apple sauce. When milk and stuff isn't enough to fill you little one up then it is time to feed the little guy is what my mom use to say when she was taking care of any kids. She didn't go by books and when they said was the right time. All kids are different she would say. Good luck

daughter is 8 weeks and i ahve same problem no matter how much i fed her she wouldnt get full. so i started giving her stage one applesauce she loves it. then i started making the oatmeal cereal mixed with apple juice for her. she loves this as well. (i couldnt get her to take it with her bottle. she pushed the botttle away when i put it in there) doctors tell you not to give such a young baby thistype of food but my daughter is dpoing very well with it best of luck
