Weaned eary than 4 months?Only want to hear from Mums who have and dont want to have debate on not weaning before 4 months!

[MillyMaisMummy]

Hiya fellow Mums!I really want to hear your experiences from Mums who weaned before 4 months please or for fellow Mums who are thinking of weaning before 4 months!

I don't want to hear from Mums who want to stick their 2 pence worth in on not doing it as its wrong and blah blah blah.... as EVERY BABY IS DIFFERENT!

My DD is coming up 12 weeks old but i started weaning her at 10 1/2 weeks old and She's doing really well and enjoys her food.

I really need some recipes to go on with,so if you got any please let me know!

I was a bit miffed when i went to my local mums and baby group and a mum told me off like a child for weaning DD before 4-6 months!I did exp[lain that i had done my research and had spoken to a few pediatric specialists and they ok'd it.....The look on her face when the other Mums told her they weaned at 10 1/2 months too...i have to say i did feel better that i wasn't the only one in the "Before-4-month-weaning-boat"!

problem is, anyone finding this thread will think there's noyhing wrong with it too

Well, I don't think you are going to find anyone here who weaned their baby at 10 weeks other than under close medical supervision for very specific reasons. You don't seem to have any particular reason, other than that your tiny tears baby is getting a bit boring and you want to bring it along a bit. Why not get your child's ears pierced too? Looks so pretty when they don't even have hair.

By the way, babycenter and netmums are -----> that way.

Bye.

MMM - threads are conversations, and hard to control

Please answer my questions, though, if you would....am interested.

my DH was weaned before his due date (was 5 weeks premature)

can't say it's done him any harm. but it doesn't mean I will do similar - despite what MIL thinks

Georgiemama - nail on head.

No-one is going to come on here and give you recipes for a 12 week old baby, you're wasting your time.
Just chew up a sausage roll for the little mite....

I weaned my ds at 14 weeks, purely because I was surrounded by older Mums and I simply followed suit. It's weird what ignorance can do though. All subsequent children were weaned at 16-26 weeks... yes they did vary but 10.5 weeks is rather demented. I cannot imagine what your baby was doing that gave you the green light to wean.

YOU WAITED UNTIL YOUR LO WAS 10 1/2 weeks? DO You not love your child? Are you trying to starve your daughter? I was shoving bits of brocoli and banana up my vagina when DS was 35 weeks gestation, when he came out he asked for a slice of carrot cake and cup of tea. NOW THAT'S WEANING PROPERLY.

LOL @ LBofF.

There are some naughty posters here

What research have you done? Can you provide us with links?

Incidently, you still need to use the space bar after punctuation. And twice after a full stop. HTH.

ROFL at Libra

lol Libra.
I think a lot of Mums wean their babies earlier than necessary because they hope it'll make them sleep through the night. Selfish imo.

LibrasBiscuitsOfFortune you are a bad bad lady

I know I am going right off point here, but fuck it. What does OP mean? Seriously, I have been sitting here trying to work it out, after realising that I might as well have not posted before if some cock is doing it for a laugh. Are there very many folk that come on here that are really just making stuff up? What is the point of that? Please tell me (but don't take the piss or shout) as I've only been doing this MN (am getting virtually all the abbreviations seeeee??!)thing for a bit. Thankyou o lairy bunch of pros..

Rightyho; but what is OP?????!!!

OP = original poster, ie the person who began the thread.

Do you mean what does the OP mean, or what does the acronym OP mean?

The acronym OP mean "original post" or "original poster". I have no idea what the OP means to achieve, in this thread. She's a loon.

I'm afraid you can't dictate who responds to your threads@OP.

Weaning at 10 weeks is utter madness. You are very, very silly to ignore the advice given by the government, healthcare professionals and all sensible, well informed people. Please reconsider.

Oh.. pfff... OP, you're talking balls.

OP = Original Post(er)

Mwahahahaha! Now I getcha..Ta

8 pages and only 2 'recipes' both involving milk. There's a theme here...

OP, is your decision to wean so very, very early a knock-on from the worries you had about your dd's weight when she was younger?

weaning early is not the way to make babies put on weight, even if you are worried she is too small / light (which she probably isn't anyway...)

oh, is it 4 months again? when i had DD1 it was four months (19 years ago) with DD2 it was six months. Was always a bit about the six month thing, although i think i weaned DD at about five and a half monhts.

Interestingly, my friend weaned her ds at 4 months and he went from sleeping through the night to being a nightmare and waking several times - no obvious pain or distress, but anyway, she went back to breast only and his sleeping improved. Even though he seemed to be doing well on solids. Not sure what was going on there - just making an observation.

Official advice is exclusive breastfeeding (or formula) for 6 months at the moment Ijustwanttoaskaquestion. But until about 5 years ago it was advised that solids could be introduced from 4-6 months, so some people still follow that. The more research that is done, the more evidence seems to be stacking up against early weaning. (Such as blood sugar levels spiking too much from very early weaning, and this setting in place a cycle which can result in obesity.)
