lb, that is gorgeous. My boys have always loved more intense tastes too - DS1 was eating curries very early on and DS2 eats everything - absolutely everything!!

lb, I have had a quick look online and haven't found it as yet. There should be something on the WHO and NHMRC sites, but unfortunately they also have a lot of publications which were prior to the changes so it is hard to find the updated info. Perhaps you could call them the NHMRC and see if they could send you something? The states should also have adopted the national policy, but you'll find that some will take a long time to do so.

The most valuable guide to starting solids IMO is the ABA booklet - Introducing Solids. It's $5 (less 10% for members) from Mothers Direct and I love it. It was the most useful thing for me when I was going through this. It was updated a couple of months ago to reflect the latest guidelines.
