weaning at 4 months?
Will anyone or has anyone started weaning at 4 months?
I started to wean my first at 4 months but the HV had a right go at me saying that i should wait till my baby is 6 months bla bla bla!!
I am thinking about weaning my 2nd at 4 months aswell does anyone think this is a bad idea?!
It says on the 1 stage food from 4 months so i presume it is ok?!!
Thanks Amie x x x x

If you feel she is ready then honestly a little baby rice or fruit puree is fine wont harm her - hell i was weaned at 3 months and a baby book my mum kept from when we were babies (28years ago) Dr Spock suggest weaning at 2 months!!!!!
Good luck its great fun!!
He took to our family food a lot easier than a lot of my friends babies who waited until 6months. I'm not sure if this is because my lo loves his food or beacause he was weaned early.
I'm expecting no2 and will play it by ear as it may not like it's food as much as it's big bro!
Good luck

Some HV's may appear to 'preach' but they only use up to date research which at the moment suggests holding out until 6 months is best for the majority of babies. Of course I think Mums should do what is best in their indiv circumstance & you may find your lo is totally ready. Most HV's will support you with early weaning if you ask as they realise not all babies fit the mould.
now 20 weeks old he has 3 solid meals a day, 4 9oz bottles a day and last week started having heinze biscotti biscuits and cant get enough of them.
i put all mine on solids at these ages because they then they were all taking 9oz bottles of hungrier baby milk every 2 hours or less.
