Listen to your baby, not the guidelines. My 2nd daughter was a gorgeously fat breastfed baby. I took her to Annerly midwives at 5 months for a baby check. They asked me if she was on solids yet and when I said no, they said to look for the signs that she was ready, as she would be soon. She started solids a few weeks later. Annerly are very pre-breastfeeding, but still made this observation before 6 months.
I believe in following your baby's signs, not what is right for most babies. Your baby isn't most baby, he is an individual. Also, the solids recommendations seem to change every few years. They were 4 months, then 6, now some are back to 4. I say ignore them and follow what your child needs.
