I wanted to wait until 6 months to wean.
However, DS1 is 5 months old (21 weeks) and grabbed a chip off my plate in Wetherspoons the other day and tried to eat it! Obviously I stopped him! He also watches me eating, makes chewing motions with his mouth and weighs around 19lb, has been a big boy from birth.
So my gut instinct is I am probably going to start introducing food in the next week or so. So my question is, do I have to do baby rice/purees if I start before 6 months? Or can I stick some soft steamed carrot sticks, slices of avocado and other veg etc on a tray in front of him and see what happens?

If you wean before 6 months, do you have to do purees?
