Matthew loves his food and he is on 2 meals a day and he is now 19 weeks! xx
You know your baby better than anyone, and if you think your LO is ready, then just do it. As long as its after 16 weeks or so because before that they aren't mature enough to cope with solid food.
I was told to wait til 6 months, so that was the plan. Even though Max was still hungry after a full feed and then hungry about an hour later, and trying to eat anything; kept waking at night; and watched me and oh eating i thought i HAVE to wait!! Its ridiculous how much they push this "6 months" thing. Thats an ideal in a text book but babies are living real people and they're all different.
Anyway, I weaned Max at about 23 /24 weeks in the end and he was soooo ready for it!
Sorry a bit long!!
