LOL I just went into this thread to ask the same question!!

Im thinking I will start at 4 months... cos already milk doesnt seem to satisfy courtney and what with the reflux... I reckon she will be much better on solids!!

Hannah was just under 5 months when we first gave her a little baby rice. She is now on 2 meals a day - breakfast and tea.

Unfortunatly it still isnt helping her sleep through the night

I started Sam on tastes of food at 5 months but he wasn't having much at all (two small meals a day) until he was 6 months x

Ruby just started at 18 weeks she's been getting baby porridge once a day, but introduced some sweet potato today. Will start giving her a new vegetable to try every couple of days.
I think guidelines advise no sooner than 17 weeks, but they are only guidelines.

Why does bottle feeding make a difference?

Started at 4 months. He was on 40oz of milk per day at 3 months already.

I wouldn't really call it "weaning" though in my boys case because that implies having less milk. The greedy pig still drinks all his milk and has rice for breakfast and veggies or fruit for supper.
