I'm impressed, Pedi!

Went for DSs 4month shots today. Our pedi said we should hold off on solids until around 6 months, which I had planned to anyways. He also mentioned that it is recommended that you start solids with meat. I never thought he'd be so up to date! The guy isn't exactly a spring chicken - he was my pedi and I'm 27!

Not saying anything about people that have already started, or plan to start with any other foods - to each their own. But, I was just impressed that our pedi is so up to date that I had to share.

    I have heard of holding off to 6 mos---we pretty much did that with DS1---but never to start out with MEAT???   Why is that?

    That's awesome! My pedi has a 6 month old so I have high hopes, she did comment on my cloth diapers being healthier than disposable, so I feel pretty good about it. I think regardless of personal parenting choices (solids, diapering, CIO) it's nice when your pedi agrees.

    My pedi was the same way at our 4 month appointment. I was very impressed because she was my pedi and I'm 30. It made me feel good about choosing a pedi that is older.

    Of course she was highly recommended as well.
