DS is 5months in May and I think he's ready to be started on solids.
I know the official advice is to not wean until 6mo but he's showing a big interest in food, he will try and snatch food out of my hand if I'm eating be it toast or fruit and tries to put it in his mouth. He watches me like a hawk when I eat and if I'm doing it holding him he tries to put his mouth in the food on the plate.
I've given him little tasters, I've dipped his dummy in my soup a few times etc and he's absolutely loving it and looking for more and gets irritable if he doesn't get it.
Also I don't know if it's unrelated but he's also become more unsettled at night but won't take the breast as much.
He's a big baby, born at 8lb 10oz and doubled in weight within 2 weeks. He's in size 4 nappies already and EBF so far. HV happy with his weight etc
Does it sound about right? And how do I wean him if so?
