My little girl (dd? sorry i dont know the abbreviations) is now 5 months. At four months she started showing all the signs that she was ready to start on something a bit more substantial than milk - chompin on her hands, waking frequently in the night for feeds, showing a lot of interest in our food, etc.
I decided to start trying her with some baby rice - which went down really well.
She has been doing really well and I was feeling really happy and confident that we were doing everything right. She has a bf in the morning, at lunch she will have a jar of baby food (125g) and some juice from a cup, then in the afternoon she'll sometimes have a rusk. She still has some milk during the day, in the evening and once during the night.
I went to a mum and baby group today (first time we'd been - kept meaning too but stuff kept gettin in the way). Pretty much everyone there thinks that I'm doing this too early and that her digestive system is not ready.
After having been feeding her for a month I'm so worried I might have / or be doing her some harm??
We're getting plenty of wet nappies and maybe one of two dirty nappies a day. She seems very happy and the night times have become much more settled.
Should I stop what I'm doing and just keep going with bf until she hits 6 months??
