Baby boy is 4 months old and his Doctor has invited us to slowly start introducing solid foods. When did you decide to start solids? We will still give primarily breast milk until well beyond a year.

Our Doctor has invited us to slowly start introducing solids. Has anyone else started? Is it too soon? He can sit for brief periods of time unassisted but we are still working on balance.

Any suggestions on how to start or where to start. Today doctors told me I need go rarity due to one of my twins having dairy issues and what good snack brands that are dairy free. Have no idea what to eat or not little stressed about it

His response was it doesn’t fit properly. I’ve spent a lot of money on this watch it was the way said it and it just really upset my f...
