Hi Amanda, I think I'll be starting Niall on some EBM and rice cereal on the 13th, his 6 month "birthday"... I think he's ready, he has teeth, is chewing on everything. If he can swallow as well as Wade did when I gave him solids at 5 months then I will know he's ready... if he pushes it out with his tongue, gags etc like Verity did at 4 months (that was the recomendation back then) then I'll wait a little longer... I'll give him a few goes to get used to it though.

ETA:deleted my rant... I'm obviously having a bad day... sorry to anyone that read it.
