Angel, I wouldn't do it. My babies drank lots at around that age, as Sherie said it's a usual time for them to need more to drink. There are also lots of reasons why it can cause problems - risk of allergies that might not show up for years, and risk of them replacing milk with food when milk is the most important nutritional requirement are two of them, Sherie mentioned another. I would give extra milk or formula as required and if it hasn't settled in a couple of days, then speak to a medical professional before deciding to give solids. This is just my opinion, and you will hear others say it is ok, even some medical professionals, espcecially if they were trained back when the recommendation was 3 months. Do you know that 100 years ago babies weren't recommended to start solids until 12 months of age? If you do decide you want to give solids earlier, please research it further first, try googling it, and make sure you look for medically sound sites with recent information.
