everyone!

So DD is 4 months old, or 18weeks, and im wondering if its time to start her on solids...

im going to be trying a bit of BLS and some puree's at the same time..
im a bit onf a control freak so i figure with the puree ill know she is eating some and the BLS will help her co-ordination, hopefully it wont confuse her thought!

but what im wondering is if i should start now or wait a bit longer?

i know there is a lot of talk about starting as early as 4 months but im not sure why its a issue??

and im also not 100% sure if she is ready?
she is paying a lot of attention to us now when we eat, everything goes in the mouth, she has started a chewing like action with her mouth and she pushes her bottle around a lot with her tounge... i dont know if they are any indiactors as to whether she is ready or not?

being a first timer i have no idea about solids at all, all i know is my MCHN keeps saying to wait till 6 months but if DD is ready im not going to make her wait just becasue ive been told to!

any advice/tips/ whatever u can give me is going to be helpful!

thanks crumpet xx
