    We are going to start solids this week despite my 'no-real-reason' hesitation to wait another month until he's 6 months old. I know @mcvgal started weeks ago now, but @lrwardrop did you start too?

    ...but then again with all of the changes during months 4-5, maybe there is a real reason to not add something else new to the mix...

    What do you think?

    I started solids. He seems to enjoy them. So far ive just been doing once a day. I have a pretty fussy baby that doesn't sleep and there havent been any changes for better or worse since starting.

    While we started solids at 6 months actual age, DD's adjusted age would have been 4 months and adding solids didn't really effect any of the other changes at the time.

    Thanks Ladies. In my sleep-deprived state and physical tiredness, it's good to read your experiences.

    @mrsrep123 DD/DS pediatrician says 5-preferaby 6 months for solids is fine, it's before then that's the real problem. He says it's usually the grandma's hounding you about the food that's more annoying than the wait. DH and I had a good laugh about that.
    How has everyone been? Sorry I've been absent

    Yup, both grandma's are wondering why we haven't started yet @omegarose3. 

    How are you doing @omegarose3? I figured you must have so much going on still...

    We, unfortunately, are surrounded by the smoke and ash from all of the CA fires. It's devastating how much damage has occurred. It's bittersweet in that the wind is keeping the air semi-clear but then, of course, it doesn't aid in containing the fires.

    Glad to read your ladies experiences with solids! Our pediatrician is strict about the 6 month rule so I am hoping after his appointment at the end of this month (like a week shy of 6 months) we can start some solids! He seems to be really interested in the food we eat so hopefully that is a good sign!

    Am I the only one holding out as long as humanely possible before introducing solids?
