Don't even have children, but my parents (both mum and dad) have told me to ignore WHO advice and give my children solids at 3-4m old and wean them just after 6m; that's what they expect me to do too! "We didn't have people telling us what to do back then"; no, but what I do is my choice and TBH I'm lazy enough to go along with WHO so I don't have to sterilise baby forks/spoons or clean cups when I could be BFing! Even if you ignore the new health advise, just look at it from ease-of-use-PoV! No bad advice from MiL, she just says what she did, it's only my parents who try to tell me that's the only way to do it! MiL BF'd a lot longer than my mum too!

Best advice so far: has to be from the girls here! It's just great knowing I'm not the only one with her mum giving stupid advise that she's expected to follow!
