When ds was 4 months old his paed recommended putting him on a small amount of farex after each feed as he said that even though he was only 4 months old he was the size of an average 6 month old. now his main reason for starting him on solids was that ds was a vomiter and was losing weight, and the hope was that the solids would settle his tummy. Ds took to his food like anything - loved it and started gaining weight again. He is now over 2 and has no food allergies or intolerances.
