I gave Maddy her first taste of solids about 2 weeks short of being 6 months old. She'd been exhibiting teething signs since at least 4 months old and was sitting up on her own well before 6 months old. She really wasnt all that interested, so I didn't push the fact. Just fed her a teaspoon or so once a day for the first week and wasn't bothered if she spat it out or if she completely refused to eat it.

Maddy's slowly building her appetite up and I still booby feed her on demand. She doesn't eat 3 meals of solids a day just yet but she's getting there slowly even if she doesn't like vegies or meat (aside from mashed potato!) *L*
