Weening

Hey 👋 with your CMPA babies did you wait for 6 months to start weening or did you do it early ? My little one is 5 months on Tuesday and I think she may be ready but my health visitor said we can’t till she is 6 months. Any advice please x

Hello, I started as early as 4 months her doctor recommended it.

I've heard waiting until 6 months is generally best because their GI system will mature more and they have better ability to swallow the food

We waited till 6 months with my eldest and will be again this time. Baby needs to be able to sit up and also it is so much better for their tummies xxx

We started at 5 months on our dr’s recommendation due to reflux - we asked about starting at 4 months but his neck strength wasn’t there yet apparently. Would get the dr’s ok before starting at 5 months xxx

I am waiting (my girl is almost 6 months and I don’t think she will be ready then either) mainly because my girl isn’t even settled on her milk yet 😩 it is advised to wait until 6 months anyway so their digestive system is ready and I don’t see how adding more things to an unsettled digestive system is a good thing really 😞

We were told by hv to wait till 6 months but we started at 4 months x
