    My DS was doing the same thing but at 4.5 months. He also increased his milk feeds to the point of feeding hourly . I was trying to hold off to 6 months but he was just too hungry. So I started solids and he loved them, swallowing easily and eating from his plate.

    So she may be ready, you could try her with pear or pumpkin, and it it goes well, yay, if not, wait for a few more weeks

    There's a lot of "watching" and learning before anything but milk is ready to go down the hatch. Leave it a bit - no need to rush at the first signs. she doesn't need anything til she's 6mnths.

    Yep what barb said. DD2 is doing exactly the same, but she still can't sit unaided and still has the forward tongue thrust. They're both the things I use for readiness for my babies, especially for BLS.

    Will see if I can get it moved for you.
