New study on solids.. Thoughts?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

I've started solids with my baby at 6 months, not because I wanted to follow the "rule" but 'cause my baby wasn't very interested in solids. I'm happy I've made that decision as I read more and more studies on negative effects of introducing solids too soon or to late(like diabetes) : https://blog.earlystart.me/?p=251

What do you think about that? When did you start solids?

    We started solids at about 4 1/2 months and I'm fine with my decision. We skipped the cereals and went straight to homemade purees. I didn't really push it though. If he wasn't that interested on certain days, that was fine by me. Now that he's almost 6 1/2 months he's very interested in food and its becoming really fun experimenting with different fruit/veggie combos!

    Eta...if my son wasnt interested in solids AT ALL by 4 1/2 months I would have waited longer. Either way wouldn't reallt matter...I just try to follow his cues.

    Interesting that this is with Type I diabetes, which is very different from the Type II most typically think of. Type I is also much less common so I am interested to read the JAMA paper to see what the actual sample sizes were. Those hazard ratios quoted are quite large, so that is provocative if methodologically sound. It sounds like they are really looking at those who start solids prior to 4 months or after 6 months. I waited until 6 months actual age (5 months adjusted), but she hates them!

    Okay... gotta say that I'm getting tired of seeing this website and the other one goodmomming or something like that that you've been pushing every single post. I don't really know why you keep posting these two websites. I've never looked at them because I realized what you were doing immediately and it looked too much like SPAM, but its getting old. Just wanted to make sure everyone else realized what you were doing also before they clicked anything....

    This. Please stop.

    I tend to distrust any site that is so poorly written. I would recommend consulting the JAMA article yourself.

    Yeah, she only posts on food related threads and links this blog site in every single one. So annoying.
