Made it to the full 6 months before weaning?

Just curiosity honest

My first two pre-dated the change in guidelines. DD, who came after, wasn't remotely interested in food until somewhere over 9 months.

It was pretty hard finding advice on 'how long is just milk OK?'

dc1: advice was weaning at 4 months. He was weaned just short of 16weeks. And he absolutely loved it!
I realized later on that the reason was he was allergic to cow's milk so solid food just felt much much more comfortable for him.

dc2: advice was weaning at 6 months. He was weaned around 5 months old because 1- I couldn't quite understand why the rule had changed within 18 months and 2- he bf, reused to take a bottle or a cup with milk in and I was back at work. So nursery used to give him milk with baby rice to make a bit stiffer. That allowed them to feed him at least.
He was much happier with solids than with a bottle full of milk.

Both mine were earlier, but it was before 6 months was the guideline. Dd1 was at about 4 months dd2 was much earlier 10 weeks? Because she was drinking so much milk 12oz+ ( I gave up breast feeding earlier with her too because she was so hungry!) she got just a little bit of yoghurt to help "fill her up".
Dd2 was a huge baby, I know that mw would be lecturing me on childhood obesity now. 11 years later she's a petite little thing!

It's a reminder of how much advice moves on.... Must remember this when/ if I ever become a grandmother.... And keep my advice to myself!

I made it until a week before when dd started helping herself off my plate.
