Daisy that's how I feel, like I'm harming my baby, I am in the UK and yes was told 6 months, then after talkin to my hv was told tgat the advice is currently under review and is most likely to be lowered. I've researched this and my son seems to like food without any problems, choosing to eat rather than being forced but I feel pressured now into stopping as I don't want to give him any problems. Kinda gone ot now.
My point with this thread was that blw is being promoted and pushed everywhere I may have been misleading in my start for this thread but that was my intention to see why blw was so heavily promoted on here as well as on other sites and often comes across as been superior. Sorry.

Where is it that you've seen BLW being 'promoted and pushed everywhere'?? We do BLW and I can honestly say that I'm the only person in real life I know who does it, all my family and friends think I'm mad and why can't I just spoon feed her, I get indulgent looks from HVs. I haven't felt at all supported doing BLW except for one small sticky on the weaning section of BnB
My eldest 2 were both traditionally weaned at 4 months as was the age recommendation then. They are both healthy happy boys with great appetites. My daughter is born of the era where its now recommended to wean at 6 months (which i find bizarre as babies havent changed in the last few years have they?? lol). I read somewhere that they moved the age because people always start early so if its up at 6 months it gives room for a bit of leeway rather than people weaning at 2 or 3 months. .
