[ozmidwifery] Introducing solids

[Helen and Graham]

Some other invalid but commonly cited reasons for deciding to introduce solids earlier than six months from my experience are 1. The pressure to get a baby to sleep through the night.  If I feed the baby solids I will fill him/her up and he won't wake at night!  Sleep deprivation contributes to this decision. 2.  Baby was watching me eat therefore he wants some??!!! 3.  BF more often at around that age( ? due to a growth spurt ).....therefore I mustn't have enough milk and the baby wants more than I can give!   Helen
