When did you start weaning? - Page 2

We started at 5 months 1 week on doctor advice because of poor weight gain. In hindsight she would have been fine waiting until she was 6 months.

we started at 6 months as he was watching everything we ate! he was born a month earlier but we didn't take that into account.

We wanted to hold off till 6 months but on the advice of the HV we started at 5 and a half months.

I started weaning my youngest at 6 months but He wasn't interested so We tried again when He was 7 months and He was fine.

We started at 4 months on advice from specialist due to Poppy's abdo problems at birth (pyloric stenosis and damaged reflux valve). She took to it like a duck to water tho, no problems whatsoever xxx

I planned to wait until Jacob was 6 months but he wanted more, so he was about 5 and a half months when we started.

A little over five and a half months. I am doing BLW, and had been sitting her with us in a highchair during meals so one day I just gave her a bit just to see if she'd try it, she took to it like a pro so I figured why not?!

We started Jaden at 3 and a half months as he was having big issues with his milk. The midwife advised us to.

Kaitlynn was weaned at 6 months exactly. She was happy with her milk so didn't try any earlier.
