Started kinda weaning him. So this is from Monday I gave him a little bit of ready break extra smooth. He didn't have any yesterday but had some today he loves it. I know you shouldn't wean till 6 months but went to a baby weaning class and she said because he's bottle fed he's fine to wean now. Reason I've done it is because he's sick every day after most feeds and I feel like he needs more than just milk. Anyone else like this?

Being bottle fed isnt a reason to wean 🤔😂 Who told you that? Wrong info. Doesnt matter if bottle fed or breast fed...weaning should be done at 6 months unless theres a medical reason. If hes being sick after feeds...sounds like reflux...try him on reflux milk...or feed him at more of an upright angle....and dont put him down for 30 mins or so :) Milk is very important the first 12 months...personally would start with veg not porridge xx

I did it with my youngest she was 4.5 months old when I started weaning with her....she just needed more than milk and she was sick after most milk feeds too. She's 4 now and still loves her food.
I was always told they give you 6 months as a guideline as babies stomach is usually developed by then. Some babies develop earlier but the only way you'd ever know is if you cut babies stomach open lol. Health visitors talk crap sometimes...It has nothing to do with being bottled fed xx

My healthvisitor told me to start weaning whenever I feel he's ready and I started when he was 4 and half months he loves food it useto be 4 months it's only given as a guideline so whenever u wanna start its upto u Hun obviously not when he is too young but I'd say now is fine I use to give baby rice at first u can buy tins of it from supermarket and lasts 6 weeks it's about£2.50 xx

@luvmybabypeaxx thank you yeah that's what she said do it when we feel ready. I've been told no point in baby rice as no nutritional value so not bothering x

I weaned Max just before he turned 5months because he was actually refusing milk. He had been ill. Lost so much weight he dropped from 75th to 50th centile. I always knew he'd be an early weaner. He showed a lot of interest in food early on. I offered pureed veg first then baby porridge. He took to it right away. Once he was 6months I did BLW. 6months is a guideline. They do all vary and some are ready a bit before 6months.
