With Philip we waited until over 6 months to begin food. I will add that Philip was much easier to feed, maybe because he was further developed and knew better how to control his tongue. <BR/>I say, if KayLynn seems happy and is sleeping fine than wait. It sure adds more work to what you will need to bring with you everywhere, not to mention more time.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17716975056103410688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881409474639520550.post-78637926623270495212008-11-05T20:35:00.000-08:002008-11-05T20:35:00.000-08:00I exclusively nursed Wesley until he was 6 mths ex...I exclusively nursed Wesley until he was 6 mths exactly. He was very eager to eat solids too. I think with our next child we will start at maybe 5 and a half months. Your baby also has to show interest in the food. That's why they sit with you at the dinner table.Or lay in their swing, whatever :)Our doc said the goal is to have your baby be eating dinner with you at dinner time by their 1st b-day. I agree with waiting until the baby is older to feed solids too. Why start the mess any earlier than you need to?Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840087766118611019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881409474639520550.post-1407362192792329902008-11-05T08:55:00.000-08:002008-11-05T08:55:00.000-08:00With each child we lived in a different place and ...With each child we lived in a different place and had different doctors and each had different ideas.<BR/>Sarah's doc started them at 4 mo, Rebekah's at 1 year, and Joshua's at 8 mo. The 2 later ones were the easiest - probably because the tongue action was betterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
