Hi,

I started ds on solids at 5 months 1 week old. Looking back on it now, I actually wish I had waited. In fact, it was the subject of my first post on BB and MantaRay told me to wait- I wish I'd listened!

He didn't really eat a lot till he was about 7 months anyway and solids is just so much work. Not at first- but it builds up quickly before you know it all the preparing, chopping, cooking, then throwing out cause they won't it anyway , washing, wiping and cleaning takes forever and i wish I had given myself a bit more of a break before I started doing it!!

But that's just my laziness speaking. If you feel bubs is ready, go for it. But don't increase the amount too quickly or add too many meals too soon- it just adds up to more work!
