I let mine suck on foods from a very young age - asparagus, carrot, tomato etc. Weaned properly at about 17 weeks

DD - 4 months: think it was either rice or fruit

eeeelectra · 20/09/2007 20:24

4 months and 5.5 months. They weren't ready, either of them and I regret it very much. They were too young.

Summerdressesandlacyboots · 20/09/2007 20:26

all were 14 weeks. had baby rice and then a bit of pureed carrot mixed in after a couple of days

Habbibu · 20/09/2007 20:32

6 months, and can't really remember. Carrot stick, I think, but really got going at a wedding the following weekend where she ate a bit of each course...

lailasmum · 20/09/2007 20:34

DD was 4 months and carrots I think.

pania · 20/09/2007 20:51

all three had rice before they were four months It got to the stage when giving 9oz milk every two hours was not enough, they needed food!

TheQueenOfQuotes · 20/09/2007 22:23

DS1 and DS2 both 17 weeks. Cant' remember what DS2 had - but DS1 it was pureed mixed frozen veg .

DS3 I'm thinking about holding out until 6 months - but tbh I'm not sure we'll make it

lilymolly · 20/09/2007 22:28

Weaned DD last year

Waited till 26 weeks, baby rice followed by banana.
TBH should have waited longer as she was not bothered about food, and only really took to solids at about 10 months.
