DD is 22 weeks old. With my DS he didn't manage solids well until close to a year old. I was happily content to let DD have all the time she needed and was not even in a rush to start her at 6mths BUT...she has done a couple of things to make me wonder if I perhaps should start her after all. Incident one involved sitting with her on my lap talking to DH holding a wedge of apple(me) that I was eating. DD was making her usual enthusiastic sucking sounds on what I thought was her fist but when I redirected my attention to her instead of DH discovered her licking my apple with obvious delight. Incident two occured last night. DD likes to sit up with us at meal times and be included. I had got up to get ds a drink and while she was strapped in she didn't have her tray on so she was able to lean forward just enough for DS to shout Mamma, DD has your pumpkin and it is all slobbery!! I retrieved said pumpkin much to DD's distress but am now in a quandry of whether I should wait another month or whether these are very clear indications she wants to start now. WWYD?
