I was looking up when babies can safely start eating untoasted bread and one of the images led me to this website that sells... stuff? Are they selling me the question? Who knows.

Then if you scroll down to the related products, you can buy a basketball club for $30, down from $15!

I'm guessing this is some phishing website looking to steal credit cards. I also still haven't found an answer to my original question.

From 4 months. Soaked in mother's milk and only small pieces of crust. (That's what my wife says, but our baby is still alive, so I think it checks out.) Take this with a grain of salt, as we start with purees at 4 months old in my country, where other countries start at 6 months I'm told?

Take this with a grain of salt...

FYI: You don't need to add salt to the bread soaked in mothers milk /s

My kid's eight now, but from what I remember, we started with solids at around 4 to 6 months too. Some kids just won't want them, will spit them out, and may take longer to start, but you can try from around then 🙂

I know it's safe early on as long as it's toasted. Haven't heard of bread mixed in milk before. But what I was trying to figure out is when I can safely give plain bread without toasting. I feel like a one year old should be more than capable of handling it, right?

Definitely!

I'm not a dad and I don't have an answer to your original question, but this site definitely smells phishy. Weird SEO optimization so it comes up higher when people google questions, no reviews, and what's up with those "discounts"? Are the prices listed backwards? Steer away.

Its like they are selling online searches, lol

It's sus for sure. None of the listings have any info on the "product" besides the photo.

Looks like you found a scam site that took a photo from Solid Starts (https://solidstarts.com/foods/bread/). My wife followed them with our first kid as it gives good suggestions on when to introduce foods and how. All the info is free.

I think they also sell recipes and other bonus info, but I'm not certain.

Interesting. I didn't think anyone could fall for something so obviously fake, but if everything's from solidstarts, they might be preying on sleep deprived parents.

maybe phishing, but also possible these are "legit" sales of definitely AI gen.
