Dd is 21 weeks and we're starting to think about weaning. She's bottle-fed, currently draining 5 8oz feeds a day and sleeps through the night but has recently started waking earlier and earlier. I've read all the debates on here about early weaning and I'm inclined to stick it out til 6 months if I can although I'm really unclear about whether this is such a benefit if baby's bottlefed (perhaps someone can enlighten me??). What I'm really wondering is - how do you KNOW that they're ready? It can't just be a question of 'right, she's six months, break out the baby rice'. Would be grateful for any advice.
