    Definitely not before 4 months, unless instructed otherwise by your pedi (usually for reflux).  These days some start at 4 months, we don't start until 6 months for any solids.

    I wasn't going to start DD until 5 months and if she wont go for it then I wont force it and just wait until 6 months.

    If their pedi gives us the green light at the girls 4 month appointment on Monday, we will start next week.  The girls seem ready.  They show an interest in my food when I am eating, they love to watch me chew my food!  They are also sitting up supported very well!  It makes me so glad that they aren't showing any developmental delays since they were preemies!

    We won't be starting solids until at least 6 months. There is a higher risk of food allergies the earlier you start. I'm also thinking of looking into baby led weaning where they go straight to table foods instead of purees

    My pedi suggested waiting on until month 4, and then mixing some rice cereal with formula and maybe try feeding him with a spoon.  We'll see how it goes.  :)
