“NHS guidelines are around 6 months.”
No they aren’t, they’re 6 months+. Not around. Not a week before, not a month before. Some babies don’t even take to weaning at 6 months because you cannot look at a child’s insides by looking at them and see if they’re ready to start eating bananas and toast and pasta. I cannot understand why anyone would want to wean early unless actually suggested to do so by a dietician, not your health visitor, not by result of a poll. It can upset their tummy’s so much and it’s selfish to do so to only keep up appearances that your baby is “forward”. I’m sorry but it’s mean!
Edit to just say I’ve noticed the NHS site does say “around 6 months” but let’s use common sense. If you’re 28 years old you’re closer to 30 than 20 but you’re still not 30. You feel me?![Woman shrugging: medium skin tone :woman_shrugging_tone3: 🤷🏽♀️](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f937-1f3fd-2640.png)
