LOL at MILs! Or maybe not, as their advice can be quite dangerous eg. with mine, when we started Kaleb on formula at 2 weeks, he was a little constipated (normal apparently due to the iron in formula) and she wanted to give him orange juice!! Mind you, my mum's not far off - there is definitely something about that generation that want to get babies onto solids asap ... my mum pulled out my baby health book and the CHN at that time had actually written in a recommendation to start me on rice cereal at 5 weeks - how things have changed!
