Really only you can decide on this.  A lot of children this age will continue to 'dry nurse' during the pregnancy - they rarely 'forget' how to nurse even if they stop dry nursing and pick up nursing again once the milk has...

I don't buy the whole 6 month thing - but I also don't buy the whole 'if they show all the signs = they are ready for solids'.  My son reaches just as equally to a glass of wine, daddys razor - as a piece of carrot.  Why...

I have worn continuously from birth.  He is nearing 8 months old - I don't know his exactly weight but my guess is that he is over 20lbs! - and is worn for a least 7 hours of a 12 hour 'day'.  He is crawling, cruising and...

No.    Most four and five (and 6+) month olds simply have the developmental urge to do what everyone else is doing.  Humans are social creatures and that is just what we do - socialise (monkey see - monkey do!...
