ff and bf: when did you start to wean?
in Baby
i was wondering if there is a difference when people start to wean based on how baby is fed before food? i thought it might make an interesting topic to see if there was a pattern or whether it was random.
my dd is EBF and at 5 and a half months and has started to grab food and put it in her mouth to suck. well be starting to offer her food, rather than wait for her to take it, at 6 months.
what ages did you start to introduce solids and was baby efb, ff or expressed bottle fed up to that point?

However, they have only had 2 bottles (5oz, increased to 6oz) a day - well, what they will drink of them! - since 8 months old.
Interesting thread. Im not sure I wouldve weaned as early had I have been ebf as I LOVED bf and they were ok on my milk as I have very little dairy in my diet. Just guessing though!
Turns out it was the best thing I ever did for her - although I hated every moment of it (weaning early) for a few days!
She now eats and drinks everything you give her, and thankfully has never had any adverse reaction's to anything x
Interesting question though, I think there's alink between BLW and EBF too.

In my particular group of Mummy friends in my local area, we all breastfeed and some of us weaned early and others waited till 6 months so no real pattern.
