DD2 had her 8 wk check yesterday-she is actually 14wks today,so it was a bit late.
I was really surprised that my HV started telling me about starting to wean DD2 already.She told me that the WHO now reccomends weaning be left until after 17wks! I was waiting for her to say '26wks' & was quite shocked when she said 17.
18 months ago,DD1 was weaned at 16wks,because she started refusing milk & we were worried about her weight gain.For the record,she has no allergies & eats just about anything put in front of her.But DD2 loves milk & I see no point in weaning her just for the sake of it.I'm going to hang on as long as we can.
Is anyone else still being told out of date info?
