Hi,
I am new to this board so sorry if this has been asked before.
My baby is 4 months old, while I don't think he is anywhere near being weaned yet, are the guidelines for what age to start weaning at based on gestational age, or chronological age?
DS was born 3.5 weeks early, so is the best time to wean him actually 6 months from when he was born + 3.5 weeks, or straight 6 months.
As an aside, I met a mum yesterday who is feeding her 5 month old a well-known brand of food-like-chips. She started weaning the day her dd turned 4 months, and told me the jars of baby say from 4 months, but that you can actually start at 3.5 months.
Like I am going to take advice from a mother who is giving her DD crisps!
Thx
