wow, just had a similar conversation at playgroup this morning. Have tried solids with DS2 as he seemed ready and he's just not into it at all.....he's just gone 6monhts but after 2weeks of trying & him not once opening his mouth I figure why push it. He's happy with my milk & I love giving it to him, he will however grap anything we've got so I'm going with the baby led solids and just let him go at his own pace. Can't believe your doctor said that, mine also told me to stop BF if it means I'll get more sleep....grrrrrrr and my child health nurse advised juice in a bottle now to get him to take a bottle, again grrrrrr. I wouldn't push it is bubs is happy and healthy.
