Saturday Question of the Day
Okay... so yesterday's question resulted in two people answering (me being one of them). Let's see if anyone new is on today...
When do you plan on introducing solids (or when did you, if you already have)? Why?

We haven't tried yet, but probably will soon. Our pediatrician told us at his 4 month appointment that we can try rice cereal any time between now and 6 months. If he's not interested at first, give him a week and try again. We'll start with fruits & veggis at 6 months.

We have and are doing the Baby Led Weaning method. Its a lot of fun. Essentially you skip the mush and move right to table foods. We do some purees though, a little apple sauce or pear sauce is her favourite. The most important thig is that we eat together and she feeds herself.
Today's menu was;
Breakfast; A plum cut into quarters, one giant strawberry, some apple sauce and oatmeal.
Dinner; Some penne, two long quarters of a roasted yam, some garlic bread, more apple sauce and oatmeal, a little mug of water, usaully she'd have a green veggie as well but we need to go grocery shopping.
I find the 3-6 board here is really into started solids early. 6 months really is the norm in the "real world". That said, we started at 5 months after she started trying to eat my dinner.
We started at 4 months. Marley could not drink more than 4oz of formula at a time, and keep it down, so she was not eating enough and not gaining enough weight.
She is a pro at eating now and loves everything so far. I'm trying to do a little bit of the baby-led-weaning as well, but I'm taking that slow.
