Gosh, some of these comments
Yes I personally think the OP was wrong giving her 4 week old rusk, but like she said, she was a FTM and took advice (clearly very outdated advice) from her mum, she clearly didn't know any better, but I really think some of these comments are really mean and uncalled for.
I haven't read this whole thread, I just can't be bothered, but honestly I don't think she wanted to start a debate
Getting back on subject, I weaned from 4 months because my LO had reflux. Some may disagree, but I also think it depends on whether LO is FF or BF. I seem to notice a lot that most babies that are FF are weaned earlier than BF babies. Maybe its just a coincidence?
I go to baby groups every week with 10/11 other mummies, all who have babies the same age as my LO. Not one of them waited until the recommended 6 months to wean. All of them were weaned within 4-5 months. BnB is supposed to help people who are looking for genuine advice, this thread is surely just going to make people scared to ask anything! I know for a fact I've always been cautious to start threads about weaning because its such a heated subject! I think its brilliant that some of you mummies wait until 6 months, but every baby is different!! I just really don't think it's right to call the OP 'clueless' and say 'after 2 kids she should know better'. How bloody rude
