I was planning on waiting till 6 months but was advised by the doctor & 2 HVs to wean him at 4 months because of his reflux as nothing else worked and it does help a little, he never brings up his food, just his milk unfortunatly. x

6 months absolute minimum for us (unless of course i have to start earlier for health reasons). We are following BLW so Elliott will let us know when he's ready.x

Every baby isn't the same - it's not like something magic happens on the day they reach 26 weeks!

Agreed, I am waiting for Chloe to show me. I have done this with a lot of things with her

(Unless advised for health reasons of course)

We started at 6 months. LO started showing "signs" of being ready at 4 months, but was perfectly happy on just milk until 6 months.
