Guccibabe ~ What was the reason your GP gave for starting Tariq on solids?? There is an article HERE in relation to starting solids. Bear in mind that it is written from the ABA's point of view. It is your choice and your baby and you will do the right thing for both of you . But at least by posting this you can get some view and opinions and maybe read up on it and make an informed choice rather then just doing what your GP has recommended. I know there are some rice cereals designed for bubbas from 4 months (as I have some in my cupboard LOL). Good luck and I'm interested in your decision and how it works for out for you!
