Early weaning

Help, don't really know what to do! I weaned my 6 year old at 11 weeks & my 3 year old at 15 weeks and now my 14 week old seems ready for it i.e not being content after me seemingly breastfeeding all day! I know I weaned my other 2 early but I now feel there is so much pressure to wait until 6 months. My baby is on the large size, she was 9lbs 11oz at birth. Should I go for it or wait a bit longer?

Maybe it is a growth spurt? They can be hard but may be worth hanging on? Ds was 10lb 5oz and wasn't interested in solids until 7 months so I don't think size is the main issue.

Thanks Psychobabble & Beansprout, maybe it is just a growth spurt & I should wait a little longer, it's just so hard when I've 2 other little ones to look after and a baby who just wants to be latched on the whole time!!
