Solid foods

Anyone else waiting to 6 months to start solids?  All of my friends started their babies at 4 months and I feel so left out!  Please tell me I'm not crazy for waiting!

We did rice cereal for a week to help with reflux but it wasn't doing anything so I decided to stop. We are aiming for close to 6 months, maybe 5.5

We're waiting 'till 5.5...he's doing fine on just BM, so we're not rushing it. We may skip the whole cereal thing and go right for purees.

We just started rice cereal.  I wanted to wait until the full 6 months but LO was really interested in eating and kept grabbing for our food so we thought she was probably ready.  I'm taking my time though and don't plan to start any veggies until she is 6 mos.

We're waiting until close to 6 months. He's gotten huge on BM so he doesn't really need solids too soon. If I cave and try solids sooner it'll just be because he's such a hungry boy and waking 3, 4, 5 times a night to feed him is wearing me down. I really want to wait though.

We are starting at six months - maybe six months one week, since that's when his pedi appt is and I want to discuss our modified baby-led weaning plan with his doc.

He's only recently begin to show the barest of interest in food and is doing fine on BM. I admit that I have given him tony tastes of thing in the past week or two - a little bit of banana, a pea, and I let him taste a segment of my clementine which he LOVED.
