i keep reading different info regarding when to intro foods

i know some intro @ 4months but i read somewhere that if you want to continue to BF you should wait a little longer ... like 6 months. what did everyone end up doing? we are still only BFing for now with no supplementing - no issues so far with growth or weight gain

6 months. we also did BLW. we started with food only 1x per day at first, and only offered after nursing.

5 months. She's 8 months now and eats 2 meals a day.

Our pedi said we could start cereal at 4 months but we chose to do baby led weaning. Started that around 6 months.

The latest research and current APA guidelines are to wait until 6 months to introduce foods, regardless of whether they are breastfed or formula fed. This has to do with the way their gut is capable of digesting food, and less with previous expectations of waiting for the child to demonstrate proper cues (sitting up, interest in food, and grabbing at things.. because let's be honest, at this age, they just are interested and grabby of ANYTHING, not just food)

thanks for all the advice! i was leaning towards waiting until 6 months. DH was just getting really excited when friends of ours were posting videos of their LOs eating at 4m and was hoping we could start soon. the 2 LOs that were eating at 4m are FF and i wasn't sure if that made a difference - but i guess official rec is 6m either way. thanks!
