Hey all,
Ive just slowly started weaning my 14 week old son, he is still having his hungry baby milk, he is on between 7-8oz, and 2 feeds of baby porrige but I only give him 5 spoonful.
Now he is showing all the classic symptoms of weaning, he has taken to it brilliantly. He is pooping good, he has great chewing reflexes. Overall its not upset his system whatsoever.
Now lots of people say that the goverment guidelines say 6 months on wards.
I did a lot of research before i started him porrige and rice. I asked my mother, friends and other folk off internet, now some people have strong views about starting weaning at this age, and some seem to be ok with the idea. Overall its just mixed views.
Now ive heard by the majority of people that they started weaning there children 12 weeks onward or 16 weeks onwards. Its rare to hear that they started smack bang on 6 months.
Also if they say gov recommends 6 months onwards, why does it say 4-6 months?
So confused, but overall, when did you guys start weaning your children.
