Default Re: What is the best age (in your oppinion) to intro solids?

I voted from 7-8 monthes. My daughter went from the boob, to steak....Ok, not quite, but she was over 6 monthes when she started any solids, and had no troubles at all with introduction to table foods, Whereas a friend of mine, who kept insisting her son needed to be fed solids at 3 monthes has had a very hard time. He would refuse solids offered, and had a hard time with even baby foods until over a year old... With the new baby I think we will go the same way, no solids at all unitl past 6 monthes, and then go from there. As far as breastfed babys being hungry and needing solids...dd ate....and I mean ate all the time. Some babies follow the schedule of every 3 hours or whatnot...others do not....Personally I fed on demand, and she demanded often and for long stretches, but she was definitely getting enough, even with reflux she never dropped below 50th percentile in weight while she was exclusively breastfed.
