Hi ladies, just wondering how old your LO's were when you first introduced them to solids? I know that they say you should wait till 6 months these days but did anyone start a little earlier?
My DD is 21 weeks and at the moment takes between 4 and 5 7oz bottles a day. She always drains her bottles and constantly watches OH and I eat even if shes facing away from us she'll strain her neck to turn round and watch and I always feel really guilty! At the moment she cries a lot in between bottles and at first I put this down to teething as her cheeks and gums were really quite red and she drooled and chewed on everything too.
However the past week or so shes started doing biting and chewing motions with her mouth and I'm unsure as to whether this is to do with her teething or not. I heard from another mum it can be a sign you're baby is hungry and ready for solids and that is them mimicking you eating.
