Had a friend and her son round for a coffee this afternoon. He is 17 weeks, she plonked him in the highchair and begand feeding him bananna custard type thing... It was so sad to watch, he clearly wasnt physically developed enough, every spoon full she was puttin in was gettin pushed back out by his tongue. He has been on solids since he was 3 months... Although I can kinda see why she would try, as at 4 months he is 21lb, which is heaier than my ds who is 8 1/2 months, but clearly he isnt ready.
This isnt a rant about jars, or purees or anything as that what I started my ds on, think he was 5 1/2 months when wegave him pureed fruit but this poor litle thing clearlydidnt understand what was going on.
