Oh, for sure, Jen, re: solids. I get mad when there is misleading 'advice' about iron intake, though, when MCHN's are wanting babies on solids. There are other things you can say to a mummy rather than unnecessarily worry them about supposed lack of iron in BM! If more people knew that the iron in Farex type things doesn't actually get absorbed and only looks good on paper, they wouldn't start solids till later, and it's only because the MCHN hasn't been updated iron absoroption since the 'olden days'. If you've got other reasons then they are other reasons, but the iron one is a furphy. I hope DD goes as long as DS did without wanting solids...one less person to clean up after There is also a lot of misunderstanding about the developmental side of solids introduction that I won't go into here, as it's been said before in related threads.
Better put a tired DS to bed now that DD is asleep...
