Weening
When are people starting to wean? Do we go by actual age or ment to be age?

My health visitor told me a few weeks ago that we should start from 6 months actual age… and I’m not sure I agree with her. My boy is 4 months corrected /6 months from birth and can’t sit yet so don’t feel he should be eating. Such a minefield!
I’m doing it by corrected age rather than actual age as it’s linked to developmental milestones. Unless you’ve been advised to do it early due to allergies etc., I understand that weaning is best done once they can sit in a high chair comfortably and have the coordination to pick up food
