Hi Mummys...

Ok to be honest im really confused now... my baby is 15weeks now. feeding F Milk and is happy and healthy baby feeding evry 4-4hours...

I thought i was going to start with baby rice at 4months thats only because iv seen 4+ on products etc. Now that im really reading posts im finding out that babies guts dont usally be ready. now i dont really wana harm and im happy to wait another few weeks to feed my LO as babyrice is just carbs really.

Plz advise me. Thank You

ok to put it simply

wait till 6 months
then just feed your baby smaller potions of what you are having
avoid honey, nuts and shellfish

and enjoy

They write 4+ on the jars so people buy them but the advice these days is not to wean until 6 months.

Babies dont need anything other than milk till they are 6 months.

If your baby is happy and healthy, then there's no reason to wean before the recommended 6 mths for weaning.

Thank you ladies...
feel alot better now, i thought we start round about 4months and when they are 6months they must have meal times...
Wel my mother in law is really presuring me to wean my LO alredy.

I've heard a lot of people say it's their MIL who has put pressure on them to wean early - ignore her!

AitchTwoOh · 05/05/2009 00:22

your mil had her baby... now it's your turn to make these decisions. always the bloody mils...

weaning can be great fun (i did [[www.babyledweaning.com blw) but in terms of faff, just milk is easier. that alone is a terrific reason to delay things until 6 mos when they can just eat proper food.

BaByRaZ · 05/05/2009 00:22

well, i told her the HV has to OK it now. Acording to their weight etc.... hope that works, cuz im scared shel feed my Lo something when im not round. I try not to leave my daughter with her. But i kno sometimes i might have to. argh i think im stressin too much... sry
