Hi, I have a 12 week old baby and a 10 year old son. Now when my 10yo was small the advice was to wean between 4 and 6 months and I know that since then the guidelines have changed, and obviously there have been some hot debates on MN over this and related issues. I don't have a health visitor / public health nurse (am in Ireland - don't ask!!) and haven't been given any advice since my new baby was born.
Can someone link me to some sort of back to basics article which outlines the reasons for the change in the guidelines / other appropriate advice for a new mother? Thanks a mill. (DS is currently exclusively breastfed and I intend to keep this going.)
