Nope- they say 4 months for their smooth and breakfast ranges.

All done

Here is a link to a study done in 1994 regarding this issue, by FSANZ - it is long, but an interesting read. One thing that stood out was the "majority" of parents in the NZ study, began solids at 4mths, whereas only a quarter of study participants in Australia did with the remaining number waiting until at least 5mths. It went on to say that the NZ participants were much more educated in the physiological readiness of their babies than Australian participants were.
Worth a read if you have time.

This is a fantastic idea!! I met a lady in my street a couple of weeks ago and she has a little bub who is now ALMOST 4 months old. She mentioned the other day that she gave him 'breakfast' the other morning consisting of farex and apple. I said nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo he isnt even 4 months old yet and she is giving him food. This is not her first baby either, its her 4th. Why do women think babies need food before they are 6 months old??. My baby is almost 8 months old and he hardly eats anything at all. He snacks on banana, yogurt and other fruits and vege. He mostly has breastmilk and he is still over 10kgs. They dont need it!!!.
