weaning question
My son is 4 months today. The HV said he won't need weaning for ages as he's really small and not a hungry baby. I've been told that at 6 months they have to have proper food as milk isn't enough. Surely then if I wait till 6 months I have to wean him quickly rather than a gentle build up with baby rice, veg etc? He has been quite a difficult baby with colic and the thought of drastically changing his routine to suddenly include a lot of real food is terrifying, I was hoping it could be a very gradual thing.

I started weaning Ruby @ 5 1/2 months and have taken it really slow, like you i didn't want to drastically change everything and rush into things. She is just 7 months and is now upto 3 meals aday (only introduced the 3rd meal over the last few days).
Like linzimc has said you lo will let you know when he's ready, good luck when the times comes

i will gradually be weaning as not in any rush starting with baby rice and moving on as and when he's ready!
my oh was exclusivly BF fed untill his first birthday and he's now a 26 yr old 6ft 3in brick house so i'm not worried how long it'll take!
