Weaning before 6 months

[Loz2394]

Hi All,

looking for some advice, we started weaning my little girl around 4 1/2 / 5 months not massively just the odd puréed fruit here and there for her.
Ive been hugely judged at a mums group local to me for this. I know that it is NHS recommended not to do before 6 months- but my daughter is 6 months next week, can sit, tried to take the spoon off me now and puts in her mouth and is swallowing the food. Has anyone else weaned before 6 months? Got huge mum guilt and feeling rubbish.

All the literature I had, including the red book, and advice of medical professionals all said 4 months. I would have welcomed any change as she really wasn't ready at 4 months. There was no sign of any change to 6 months.
