I recently brought Harvest to his 4 month appointment and our pediatrician (who we really happen to love) mentioned that in the next couple of months we should start introducing solids to him. He was really nice about it when I told him that Harvest just isnt ready but he kept talking about it and then said he would check up on us again at the six month appointment.
I asked him about what he thought about waiting a much longer amount of time-like a year or around that time period. He said that he suggests six months. I know he is going to keep pushing the solids thing and I dont know how to deal with it.
What do you all do about your pediatricians? I mean, obviously he knows a lot more about infant health than I do...maybe he is right about six months...I dont know!
Ok so this is a double question: How do you deal with your pediatrician AND what is your opinion on the proper age to start solids. And please, I KNOW that every baby is ready at his own pace but I am asking about a general time period that they should start.
