Weaning from Breastfeeding

If he is still happy on just milk why not wait a while for solids?
After all it isn?t a stage of his life that he will miss if he starts next month instead of this month.

Have you tried finger foods? Most babies seem happy to eat finger foods even when they aren?t interested in mushy food. I think they like the independence of them.

So long as you are still breastfeeding and allowing your baby to have milk feeds often it is unlikely that you will have a problem with your milk supply. Your body is expecting for your baby to start solids around six months and so easily copes with it. It is estimated that once your milk supply is established it takes 42 days (that is 6 weeks) for you to lose your milk after the last breastfeed.

Best wishes,
