Hello,
My dd is going to be 6 months old in 3 weeks. She is ebf (hardest thing I've ever done, but that's another story). I have read the nhs guidelines and still can't work out if she's almost ready or not. She is sitting up well and can sit totally unaided for a few minutes. She had good hand eye coordination and can pick things up and shove them in her mouth. I'm not sure about that reflex or pushing things out with her tongue- I don't really know what that is or how to tell if she still has it or not.
Most of all I just feel like surely I would know if she's ready? She does shove things in her mouth and grab things out of my hands- but anything- it doesn't seem to be a food interest particularly. Any ideas? Shall I just assume she'll be ready at 6 months and give it a go? I'm mostly going for blw.
Thanks for reading.
