waiting til 4 months to introduce solids..

[Pandora]

DS1 didnt sit til 9 months, DS2 isnt sitting on his own yet at 8 monyhs - I wouldnt use that as a main guiding factor either.
ITs tricky huh?

Some of the advice is that a baby's digestive system may not be ready for solid food until 6-9 mths. That means 6 mths is probably the very earliest time that most babies will tolerate digesting food other than milk.

It really isn't necessary to introduce anything else before this age and there are potential problems with early introduction. So it's more of a 'no harm in waiting' situation.

Why don't you check out our Baby-led solids area for some more info on this? You can even skip the messy rice cereal if you want to! Baby Led Solids - Pregnancy, Birth & Baby Forums ~ BellyBelly

This thread has some links to sites with great info on both introducing solids and baby-led solids. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...uidelines.html
