DS nicked DH's sandwich - should I still wait for weaning?

[Swizzler]

DS is 20 weeks old and on the large side (91st percentile). Was planning to wait another 6 weeks or so before starting him on food and was keen to try BLW (less work for me ). But this morning he tore a fistful of bread from DH's sandwich and started gumming on it - is he trying to tell me something?

I know about the WHO recommendations, but will a few weeks make any difference?

every time i say... i will not get drawn into these weaning debates, but every time i do.....

So now I know why the 6 months thing comes about.

And my instinct to smack any "health care professional" who snearingly talks of the research applying to developing countries (as they do) is correct.

Worth my while popping in today.

pmsl at colditz's 'rabble rabble blah'
should be the MN marketing slogan.

Thanks for the info - looks like I'll be keeping DS back from the food for a few weeks yet . Prob didn't express myself v well re the sleep - I meant that DS's sleep patterns haven;t changed as he's always woken up at night. Don't think food will solve this one...
