I am just curious.... When did you introduce solids?

Waited until she was 4 months old.

Well, I put 6 months but it was a week shy of that for Sarah.

For Andrew, it was more like 5 months for most everything but he did have cereal starting from about 1 1/2 months of age (and prune juice) because of his reflux.

Babies truly do not need it before 6 months if solely BF. We waited until 6 months and it was a real slow start for Cole...mind you he eventually self-weaned at 10-11 months - probably becuase of the solids...

I put less than 4 months. Aedan refused bottles so he would not eat for the 7 hours I was at work. We introduced rice cereal with the EBM and then added a bit of fruit starting at 4 months. That would hold him over til I got there at lunch to nurse him.
