absolutely, that's why I used the word "maybe" in the sentence about introducing meat. I certainly wasn't trying to imply that there's a strict rule about these things - every baby has their own pace I reckon, the trick being to work out your baby's pace. My DS has been really slow with taking to solids, so it's been important to me to read & listen to people's advice, and then to choose the path that felt the best for DS & me. Depending on what literature you read some say no probs for introduction at 6 months, other opinions are that it gets introduced at 8-10 months. I guess if you're doing BLS these things will take care of themselves.
