weaning 17 weeks

[kiki22]

Ds2 is to be weaned at 17 weeks on consultant advice all fine I'm fully informed about the pros and cons totally happy to do it he's physically ready in her and my opinion, my hv left for a new job and I don't have another yet which I a problem because I cant remember how much they need to start with.

How many oz of formula and how much of a jar/pouch do they have? Ds1 loved food and took to it straight away I've totally forgotten how I started though regarding amounts

'I love the fact there are posters on this thread that presume they know better than the consultant who has examined the baby and has its medical notes and has done umpteen years at medical school.'

Completely agree Dame! I was advised by my paediatric dietitian just this week that in some cases, there are very good reasons to wean earlier than six months. But I suppose posters on here know more than the individual child's medical team! There is no one size fits all, and no I'm not advocating Your Baby, Your Rules rubbish

Posters on here were frustrating that the OP decided not to disclose why the consultant had recommended early weaning. So it certainly made me go as it seemed like short hand for 'my bubz, my rules'.
