Hun, people were telling me that I should be giving solids to DS when he was about 4 months. What the???????? He was just not interested and I would not entertain the idea. When he was 5 months old I started giving him rice cereal & baby yogurt. We would eat dinner in front of him...no reaction. Anyway, he was 8 months when we lived in China for a month and we were in Hungry Jacks (yes, Hungry Jacks) and I was having chips and he started yelling for it and reaching out his hand. So that's when he began to be really interested in solids. I did the BLS when we got home. Then it got too messy for me hahahaha and I gave him some food and other times put a variety of food on his tray and he ate what he liked. GL and do what YOU want to do not what everyone is telling you to do, and go by what your DS wants to do
