To think weening should be done ASAP

[Ryoko]

I plan to start Weening him when he is 4 months old if he will except baby rice or porridge at that age.

IMO weening as soon as they are able is natures way, thats what all other animals do it sounds unlikely to me that our ape-ish ancestors sat there giving milk alone for over 6 months so I feel that weening at 4 months is probably better for kids.

Good on you.

weening=weaning
except=accept

Weaning

accept

Nature's

That's

Children

You are entirely correct, OP.

It is documented By Science that our ape-ish ancestors spent ages steaming vegetables and organic chicken and freezing them in little cubes, only to defrost them again and spoon them into their mini-ape-ish children. Far more natural and simple than breastfeeding them. Clearly.

Yup, coz our ape-like ancestors had lots of baby rice and porridge, they did.

Actually, if you are interested in weaning the traditional way, you must chew up the food thoroughly yourself and then use your fingers to fish it out in small quantities & smear into baby's mouth. This is still the traditional weaning technique in many tribal communities. And certainly what our ape-like ancestors did.

Genuine question EccentricaGallumbits - why did you replace suggest children for the OP's use of the word "kids"?

Sorry, have no viewpoint on weaning - each to their own.

She might be a monkey, but there's no way I'd describe 6 month old DD2 as ape-ish.

YABU for starting a bunfight thread, but then it is Friday...

thought that while i was being pedantic/picky/rude I may as well go the whole hog.

A kid is a young goat.

why is this in AIBU?

you have made up your mind

Indeed "weaning as soon as they are able is natures way" - go research BLW and find out how this is when a baby is developmentally able to pick up food itself, cheew it and swallow it.

I doubt our "ape-ish" ancestors had spoons !!!

Oh, well that clears that up then

'unlikely to me that our ape-ish ancestors sat there giving milk alone for over 6 months so I feel that weening at 4 months is probably better for kids.'

Out of interest do you have the same views about other areas like did you bf or does your family sit around doing a grooming circle when ever you get louses,

OP, you're advised to wait until around 6 months to wean.

I weeeened my little babyeeee when he was born. Out he popped and I shoved a chicken nugget straight in.

It's what Jesus would have wanted.

You have more qualifications than all people at the WHO then? if so, fine, 'ween' away. Do let us in what you know and they don't though?

BTW everyone this is a fairly established poster, not a first time troll

SK has just givem me my first "splutter tea over the keyboard" incident of the day

Think you are underestimating our ape-ish ancestors, even chimps have been recorded crushing up food with rocks, our ancestors had simple tools and fruits do not need much mashing up.

Everywhere else in nature they start eating solids as soon as they are able so thats the way we must be built too.

Why would people want to delay it anyway?.

Seems apt. Go for your life, OP.

You lot are being a bit harsh. OP may be uneducated but maybe if you take her question seriously you may be able to change her mind.
