It has been hypothesised that starting food between 4 and 6 months may be better in terms of reducing allergies, but this has not yet been proven. I don't think any of the main guiding bodies in Australia have yet changed their official reccomendation.
Baby led weaning... Might be something I need to look into. Heard of it, but no clue what it is or how to do it (Or what foods to start with etc)!
Im so over conflicting info... I never felt this over whelmed with my other kids, and this time I feel like a first time mum all over. Big age gaps aren't such a good idea with me lol
This is the Australian Dietary Guidelines (2013) Giving your baby the best Start brochure that uses "around 6 months" to describe when babies are ready for other foods.
I also did BLW with my two, and think it is a great way to do it. The book "Baby Led Weaning", by Gil Rapley is a great place to start. Many libraries have it now.
