Well not just that, but all food!

DD is 3 months and EBF at the moment and I'm fine with it but see no harm in switching to formulate if need be. But I'm sick to death of hearing "oh she's hungry for something else give her a little taste" I've had this stupid damn advice since the day she was born almost!!!!!! Just because she's started chewing her hands it's apparently a sign to shove a lamb chop down her throat. FFS! I'M GOING TO WEAN HER WHEN SHE'S OLD ENOUGH! had it up to here now, she's absolutely fine and putting on weight as she should and is clearly content with BFing . Can't even leave her with anybody inlaws/DHsfriend for a while to shower or have a sleep because I'm likely to hear " oh she loved a taste of cream/butter/jam". Just Arghhh!

And I know in "other countries they are on solids from really early stop bring precious" I couldn't give a hoot! There are guidelines for a reason!

Angry

Constantly on edge now if feeding around these people.

Why do people who maybe see your baby once a week think that they know what the baby needs?

People do this all the time, they always know better than the parents.

I think the eagerness is to do with human instinct to bloody ruin everything.like a blank piece of paper is tempting to draw on a baby is just this little squidgy thing to shove food into for reaction.

Ontop of everything else the latest bit ofbullying advice is whether to salt or not salt the food and to Never microwave anything , because obviously I plan on giving her microwave dinners covered in pink himalayan salt Grin haven't even thought that far ahead yet...will it ever end!

I found it easiest to not get worked up about other people's comments tbh. I did get upset when I had loads of people telling me to stop weaning ds at just over 5 months as the guidelines were 6 months. I got sick of repeating that the advice for my baby from 4 different doctors was to wean him now for medical reasons. That was more upsetting ime. So whilst it is annoying to have people interfere, it is important to remember guidelines are guidelines, not the law.
