    Dd1 was 6 weeks early and struggled with her weight, even at 3.5 she is apparently underweight. She started on solids very early, at 4 months or 3.5 corrected there abouts. It helped with her weight gains and she was much more settled. We did this on the advice of our pead.

    Dd2 was a late starter at almost 9 months and Ds was 5 months.

    Yeh he's much more settled with some food in him too. He seems to sleep deeper when he has had a feed of solids too.
    If I find he is gaining too much weight too fast I will consider stopping or only 1 solid feed every second day or so.
    I know alot of people probably dont agree with my giving him solids yet but I cant give him more formula so I had to do something to try to help him be more satisfied and he always has a bottle before solids
