My MCHN told me at the 4 month check that it was time to start solids and that I had to do BLS or 'Family Foods' as mush was no longer recommended and not necessary.
I told her that this is my third child, she was not ready for solids and I would still offer mush as I saw fit as this is what I am comfortable with.
Picture ensuing heated conversation.
Anyway, Miss P has become very interested in what we are eating and has started reaching out for our food so I offered her a little bit of rice cereal yesterday... and she quite liked it!
Go with your gut instinct, you'll know when she is ready. I also intend to do a mixture of BLS and purees... old habits die hard!
ETA : Lol... I will be doing a combination of puree's and finger foods! My kids have always made it very clear when they have had enough puree and would not accept more being spooned into their gob? I never tried spooning more in when they became disinterested or were clearly giving signs they had had enough.
