    We're at 4+ months, which is the absolute earliest but we're holding off because it's better for them to wait closer to 5 or even 6 months.

    6 months at least...  closer to 9 months for DS1 because of other issues, and 6 months for DS2.
    And, no cereals for the boys.  Just went straight to vegetables with BM.

    With my other two children, the pedi said 6 months. I would check with the dr first.

    DD1 was 6.5 months before she started showing interest in solids. We didn't do cereal or any of that nonsense, though. We went with BLWing and went straight to foods she could hold and feed herself. 

    We'll do the same with DD2.

    6 months. Strait to avocado.  Rice cereal has nothing good in it.

    There is no reason to do rice cereal. We will skip that completely again and go straight to veggies and fruits. We will probably start as close to a 6 months as possible. I'm really into BLW so we will probably just start slowly with soft foods and go from there!

    Six months with DS1, and that's the plan for DS2.

    Like PPs, we're planning on BLW starting at about six months. (I was talking to my mom about BLW, and she said "Yeah, we did that with you, but it wasn't called baby-led weaning. We just didn't stop you when you started grabbing food off our plates.")

    6 mths for solids I believe is recommended so we will wait.

    DS shows interest between 5 and 6 months. I made him some various veggies roasted and then mashed up. He also loved homemade chicken veggie soup pulsed a few times in the blender. I'll do something similar for DD.

    We started with DS1 around 5 months and will most likely do the same this time.

    DD3 started the day before she turned six months.  We had just adopted a baby, and my mom gave her avocado with my permission.  I had planned on doing BLW, but got scared.  We stopped purees at 8 and a half months and started her on finger foods.  DD4 started at closer to seven months.  We are doing BLW and she just wasn't ready.  She is 8 months old now and absolutely loving all types of food.  I am happy that I decided to do it with her.

    We're going to start blw when she shows interest in eating. No earlier than 4 months though
