I started DD on solids when she was 5months and 3weeks, so a week or two early. To be honest it made zero difference to anything with her. She eats well enough but she took her milk well enough too. For me i'd had to start using formula so i felt the "spell" of fully BF was broken for us anyway, she seemed hungry, i went for it.

I wanted to chime in here though and say...here comes some slummy mummy advice...for ME the easiest bit of parenthood has been the time between getting good at BFing (6 weeks) and starting to use formula (5months). It is WORK making food up, it is WORK feeding it to them. The nappies get yucky, you have a lot more washing to do, mealtimes take more time. I could go on...

I would say, don't wish this magical time away. In all likelihood solids will make NO difference to his behaviour and you'll have a bunch more work to do for, well, nothing. All too soon your little one will NEED his food and the year following that is one of cooking and smooshing and spooning and wiping up and washing and more washing and even more washing. Try giving him a clean spoon or teether to chomp on during your meals and include him in your conversations, he's probably just nosy and growing.

I think the most important things are to remember that things you regret NOT doing you can always do, but things that you regret doing you CAN'T undo, and to have full confidence in your milk. I know a few babies who went on thriving on breastmilk and only a little bit of food (LITERALLY a dessert-spoonful or two a day) until they were almost a year old!
