Weaning

I'll be starting some time between 5.5 and 6 months depending on his development. It's a balancing act between waiting until 6 months for their system and their iron stores depleting by 6 months. I couldn't justify any earlier than 5 months minimum
After 6 months for sure - 4+ months is basically a marketing thing, unless recommended by a health visitor or doctor for health reasons.
I was at a weaning course today and the lady said they put 4 months+ on just to sell more! It’s a marketing thing, she said definitely wait until 6 months ish depending on development
@Nicole sorry to jump in, was the weaning course worth it? I've seen them advertised but wanted to know if it's worth the money or if I could just look online. I don't know anything about weaning and would like to be prepared
Defo from 6 months. Not everything in shops marketed for babies/children is suitable or healthy
@Holley it was actually a free one run at my local family hub! There’s definitely free ones around
My HV said strictly after 6 months
