I agree. Saying that solids are ok for any baby under 3 mo at the most extreme of the very least is GROSLY irresponsible. I do not belive that any baby is truly ready for solids until he or she is at LEAST 4 mo and most aren't ready until they are 5-6 mo. Some aren't even ready at 6 mo. I do not believe solids should ever be forced on a baby who can't choose for him or herself.
