Proper at two minds! Switching to foods. I've had several people say to me that my daughter should be on solids by now but yet the health vistor recommended 6 months. My daughters been showing interest in food and I'm quite up for the introduction. But me and my partner always said we'd wait till 4 month being the earliest. Just out of interest when did you mothers all switch to solids?

6months with Morgan. Almost 5months with Max. Weaning is recommended from 6months. Some babies are ready (for various reasons) a bit earlier but I wouldn't be thinking of weaning a 3month old. Very old school. If she's happy and thriving on formula there's no need for weaning just yet. Might be worth reading up on weaning so you know what signs to watch out for when the time comes.

I waited till over 4 months the introduced rusk and porridge at dinner time to help fill her tummy up for bed. Milk is best and has everything she needs and she will greatly benefit from keeping her on milk as long as you can.
Have a look and read up on it and maybe start her off after 4 months xx

@sara-lou86 @abbyrose @kayleighbean1 @chesscalouise2 @georgina-ox Ive had roughly about 5 people mentioning weaning to me now basically saying she should be and these were all mothers. I'll actually show them these replies if it's ever brought up again. I think after 4 months, slow introduction like we've orginally said is going be how we go about it xx

People think because they did it when we where kids it’s ok. It’s because there was less information and now, we have more evidence and research now to show the damage it can do to their little stomach x

6 months is fine to start weaning, not 3 months. My daughter 12 weeks I couldnt even dream about feeding her anything yet. X

I always said I'd wait to give Luke solids and to start weaning. But I started at 4 months as he was hungry and was taking toast and things to suck on so I started with vegetable purees. There's no rule book Hun they don't have to be weaned at 3 months but then you don't have to wait until 6 months. You know her better than anyone it's completely your decision. You're her mother don't listen to anyone xx

We started little bits of baby porridge after 4 months (she was a very hungry baby and definitely ready!)
6 months before we offered anything more solid though, when she stared constantly at my lunches as I ate.
