It’s not recommended, they’re considered empty calories and their stomachs aren’t developed enough for anything other than milk. Are you breastfeeding or formula? Either way milk is best unless there’s issues with weight gain - then speak with doctor of HV

Is he hungry or comfort feeding? He may also be cluster feeding? X

They should only be weaned from 6 months as their digestive system isn’t matured enough to handle anything but milk till then

Do what you think is right for your baby speak to a pediatrician if unsure x

I just had a HV visiting me and told me i can start next week, my baby is gonna be 17weeks then. She said i can even start to try fruit and veg. Just as little as one spoon a day

my mum weaned my little brother at 4 months (this was only 5 years ago) and it’s also not uncommon to start at 4 months… so she’s told me i could do the same with my little one, i think it’s personal preference but if unsure speak to HV x
