Weaning before six months 'may help fed babies'?

Hi I also saw this earlier and feel that mothers out there will be so confused. I have a very happy and healthy 8 month girl. My husband & I took the decision to starts introducing solids at 17 weeks. We spoke to our health visitor and she agreed. The main decision was because she was exclusivley fed and would not take formula but not gaining weight and very restless at night. She also displayed a big interest in us eating. I think instinct played a mive part in our decision too. So many people feel pressured into doing what they are told or following this and that guidelins. Well I know times change but isnt it annoying when in 8 years people just appear to change their minds all over again. I truly believe that a mother and father will know what is best for their baby. Nutrition is key to getting a healthy baby. Also its so much fun to watch your baby experience new tastes and textures. Enjoying precious time with your baby whilst they are a baby is the most amazing experience we have.
