Back last week I remember reading a thread about how someones HV told them it was false about digestive system being to imature before 6 months.
Well the other day I was talking to MIL and she works at my surgery so spends alot of the time sitting around nattering to the mw and hv there and one of the hv told her aparently the info they where giving out about weaning guidlines has changed again and they have to go back to saying its better to wean at 17 weeks????
Has anyone else heard anything like this?
I stick by my decision to wean at 6 months, we tried it at 4 it didnt work for us, I know its worked for some and great whatever works best for you but im just confused as to if the guidlines have changed again and why.
No wonder new mums are confused all the time and unsure if they are doing things for the best if the "experts" cant even make their minds up.
