Bindy hun, whether you stop or not is up to you. Sushee and I were just pointing out that you don't always know of a problem straight away. I think there are cases where babies are ready before 6 months and these children will display the signs of losing the tongue-thrust reflex, will have teeth and also be showing a real interest in food (which is very hard to tell as they put everything in their mouths). However I personally think, and this is JMO, that before 4 months is always too early.

If you are not sure that you are doing the right thing, I would err on the side of caution and stop. There is no harm done by starting later. If your DD is not ready for solids yet, stopping now will definitely minimise the impact from the solids she has already had. But this has to be your decision. Only you know what is best for your lo.

Jus, you are correct that there is conflicting info about starting solids and allergies. I know many MCHNs advocate starting solids early, mostly because many of them were trained when the recommendation was to start at 3 or 4 months. I think it is important to bear in mind that many people who start solids early to try and improve sleeping, find that it either doesn't work or makes matters worse. IMO that isn't the right reason to start solids early.

Also, I know that a recent study did show that for babies with a family history of coeliac disease, starting wheat/gluten before 7 months seemed to reduce the incidence of coeliac disease. However, this was only when there is a family history. For other babies there was no negative impact to delaying wheat/gluten eating. I know Ambah posted some links to great articles on this a while back, I will see if I can find them.

As with any aspect of parenting, each individual needs to do their own research and make their own decision. What one person does might not be right for another.
