Question?
Let's talk about solids....if my son's pediatrician gave him the go this week to start solids but wic doesn't recommend it until 6 months which one do you go with? Why does pediatrician say yes and wic say no? I'm so confused! My son will be 5 months on monday

I would go with the paediatrician. To my understanding, they say to wait till six months because different babies' digestives systems mature at different rates but if your doctor has given you the go ahead then I would say they know your baby well enough to say so. Having said that, always follow your instinct and do what you feel is right. It's your baby :)

WIC doesn't say no, they just provide baby food starting 6 months. You can buy like 10 different boxes of food now (it's $10) and start introducing little by little. It will last for about 2 months and then you can start getting it from WIC

I'm waiting till 6 months just because I'm breast feeding and I want him on my immunities longer, also, I don't think my son is ready, but yesterday I was a little curious. I was eating apple sauce and I thought maybe I should let him taste it and I put a tiny bit on a baby spoon and he opened his mouth and ate it and after a few seconds the funniest face I've seen on him yet, total disgust and accusing eyes looking back at me LOL ?

WIC also only allows 1% milk which is worse for your body than whole milk and makes me sick to my stomach... You should go with your pediatricians advice before most other sources. My baby girl is 5 months, but she still doesn't have head controls I'd like to see for solids, plus she's growing really well on just breast milk. Her pediatrician said it'd be ok to wait. Good luck with the solids girly!!!!
