Ok, so I know the guidelines are to excl bf for 6 months and then wean.... but what if you are ff?

[2point4kids]

Is it still 4 months?

no 6 mths

no, it's 6 afaia. although it's an interesting area, but there are possibly allergy-type reasons for leaving food til later then i'd thnik you were better off sticking with formula.

no, 26 weeks or thereabouts for FF babies

its funny cos you only ever hear the 2 things together, never says just 'wean at 6 months' on its own, only when mentioned alongside excl bf'ing...
When DS1 was little I was told by several people that he wuld need weaning earlier as he was bottle fed and he was a big baby on hungry baby formula, so i weaned at 4 months.

DS2 is nearly 3 months and bottle fed too but am going to wait till 6 months this time if thats the guidelines. He is not as big as DS1 and drinks much less milk so should be able to hold out for longer!

6 months, I never came across anything different for ff babies. DS waited til 6 months with the help of extra bottles during a 4.5 mo growth spurt!
