Eluned - bring on solids to fatten em up! my MHCN said that i could try her on solids at 5 months and see how that goes so that's 2 weeks away. has anyone else started solids?

my mother in law said she had DH on cow's milk at 2 weeks old!! and also put rice cereal in his bottles and just made the hole bigger to let it through. i just about fell off my chair! i have seen on a forum of mostly US women who started putting rice cereal in with bottles of formula at 8 weeks. seems a biy extreme to me ...
