How late did you start solids?
Ds1 started at 4.5m (advice was 4m at the time) and with dd we had difficulty holding her off until 5.5m because she was so desperate for solids (advice was 6m by then). Now, with ds2, we're puzzled. He's 6.5m and is basically uninterested in solids. We've tried him, on and off, over the last 3w: he loves sweet potato (is unimpressed by anything else) and can swallow it down easily enough, but never wants more than about 1 tablespoonful of food. If he does eat more than that his bowels go haywire. He certainly doesn't seem to miss it if he doesn't get his solids. He seems no hungrier than before. Other than drinking sparkling water from my glass he's showing none of the classic signs of readiness. So how long should we wait? How long is normal?
