After speaking to my health visitor I've decided to start weaning Harrison. She said he's at a good weight and he's definitely strong enough. I want him to have mostly homemade purées to start off with, if anyone knows any good recipes let me know! I'm going to do carrots this evening and see how he does 😁

@littleelf85, yeah everyone I know has weaned at 3 months. I wanted to wait until he was at least 4 months but I asked my health visitor when the best time to wean him would be. She said that the NHS recommends 6 months but that really isn't the case for some babies and she can recommend it from 17 weeks. But she said she was happy with his weight and could see he is strong enough to sit up and hold his head himself so she told me to try him on purées if I was happy enough to start weaning early. He's been very irritable lately and doesn't seem full so I know he's ready :) x
