Weaning 17 weeks

Hello,

We've been advised by a paediatric consultant to wean baby early due to reflux and aspirating milk. Baby is 17 weeks and was mostly breastfed, currently transitioning to full formula. He doesn't take much milk per feed. Has anyone else weaned early for similar reasons? Could you share your experience and tips?

We were bit nervous weaning our first, who is now a picky eater so want to make sure we approach it this time the best possible way!

I had to do this for my son.
It still took a year to outgrow with medication.
Baby sick is more gross with food added in 😂

start small with pureed options. A mini blender will help. Offer milk too. Baby will have fun
