Not really a sleep question (I don't think) so bear with it being in this topic as wasn't sure whether to post in here or sleep! Ds is 18 weeks, ebf, and a big lad - 19lb 7. He is slap in the middle I think of the 4 month sleep regression and has dropped to 5-7 wakes a night (never a good sleeper anyway) and feeds for most. Dp has just started to feel the pain of this, as he has been roped in to take ds in the morning for an hour so I can survive the day. My feelings are that this is developmental and after lots of reading up, that we just have the weather the storm. However, after a one off phone call with mil, dh came upstairs and announced we were to start with baby rice and this would solve all our problems as he is clearly just hungry, a big lad etc, and was annoyed that I didn't see this as a solution or want to start any sort of solids early. I have read him all the research on it, but he is still not convinced and says that the web sites will all say something different in a couple of years, and I just wanted to get some personal comments from other parents on early solids / baby rice etc to see if experiences support this or not. So, has anyone weaned early, was it worth it, did it help with sleep, is baby rice okay at 4 and a half months etc? Thanks!
