By solids I mean anything other than breast or formula milk.
DS is 18 weeks. He's 90th percentile for weight and exclusively breastfed. He wakes constantly throughout the night (every 2 hours or so) but then has done for about 8 weeks. He watches is eat very intently and everything he picks up goes into his mouth.
I'm trying to hold off weaning for as long as possible but there is no way I will be able to wait until 6 months. My HV said absolutely do not give him solids before 20 weeks and the later after that the better. He refuses bottles so there is no way I can top him up with formula at the moment.
Also he was 2 weeks late so I wonder if I can add a couple of weeks to his age as far as his digestive system is developed?
