First I have heard of that. I have only heard that you should breastfeed for at least 6 months. The WHO recommends 2 YEARS

I started at 12 weeks, when my baby showed all the “signs” that he was ready.
Nine months later we discovered he has permanent digestion issues as a result.
DON’T DO IT. It is not safe, and you won’t know until it is far too late whether you are doing damage. The only reason you should wean before 6 months is if the medical risks of not doing so are worse than the medical risks of early weaning – which include diabetes and severe allergies. If you can possibly hold off for eight more weeks, please, please do so.

I started with my son at 3 months coz he was really hungry and milk just wasn’t cutting it, he is 8 now and he is still eating like a horse!

When my daughter was a baby (she is now 5) the advice was still 4 months for weaning. Looking back, she wasn’t really ready and could have waited until she was 6 months. She kept pushing the food back out and didn’t really want it.
By the time I had my son 18 months later, the advice had changed to 6 months, but he was a huge baby and desperate for food. I weaned him at 4 months, and he immediately ate a small bowlful of food. By the time he was 6 months he ate a weetabix for breakfast.
My youngest, who is nearly 2, I weaned at about 18 weeks, as I felt she was ready. She had always slept well, started waking and already had some teeth, so I started earlier than the recommended 6 months.

I only had my children nursing for a short time at least the first 6 week for each of them but I had issue with needing a 2 hour nap and being about to keep hydrated due to my body. They had bottles and nursing after that for a time.
But my mother nursed us for longer(7 children). About 2 years each. But I know one of my brother had his last a about 4 year old but it was a one time thing after a very bad day.
There is no correct age to wean a baby. It’s personal choose. Each person is different and each child is different. I was reading that this one women was nursing until the child went to Kindergarten but like they said in Sex in the City, “If he old enough to ask for it then it is time to stop nursing.”
I believe that the first 6 weeks are the most important but after that then it is your choose. But they say that you should use formula for the first year. So you might want to look at the cost of formula which was about $10 per can when I had children that young and they drank 2 to 3 cans per week. And this is a good reason to nurse until the baby is a year as any. Breast milk is always better then other products.
But if you are talking about food for the baby, then when the baby starts to cry and the nurse is not keeping her sleeping through the night. For two of my children, it was 3 month. For my one daughter it was about 4 months.

I weaned my son (now 5) at 12 weeks and my daughter (now 6 months) at 4 months. On both occasions when i started weaning, milk was not satisfying them and i was having to increase the number of bottle feeds they were getting. They were both quite unsettled prior to being weaned and I realise now it was because they were hungry! My son has no detrimental effects from being weaned earlier than the recommended age and so far, my daughter is fine. When I was a baby (many many years ago!!!) my mother was advised to give me solids at 7 DAYS old!!!!!! I think all this nonsense about waiting until 6 months is just ridiculous especially for 1st time mums. Each baby is different and your gut instinct will tell you when you need to start spoon feeding. Mummies know best! Good luck x

Just because a baby is grabbing at the food on your plate doesn’t mean he/she is ready to be weaned. It just means they’re curious and want to explore their environment. Keep up the breastfeeding until they are at least a year old. Keep in mind that 6 months is the minimum! Besides weaning now means formula why waste money on that when you have the good stuff that’s always the right temp, takes no prep time and increases bonding between you and your little one? Please keep breastfeeding.

I have 3 children. The first was weaned at 18 months. She began the process herself slowly. As she ate food she wanted less milk, by 18 months she was only nursing at night.
The second I weaned at 12 months. His attitude was as long as I kept feeding him he didn’t care what the source was.
My third was weaned at 22 months. (She is my last and I delayed it as long as possible.) I started her at about 19 months. I had to be firm with her because she didn’t want to stop.
Weaning is a personal choice. At least 6 months is recommended. However, the longer you nurse the longer your antibodies protect your child. I have heard of people recommend 6 months but doctors recommend 1 year. As your son eats solid food you will naturally nurse less often. Ultimately, if there is no health issues forcing your hand, the choice is yours and your husbands.

my baby is 4 months old now and i started to wean her about 4 weeks ago. i have started all my children at about 3-3 1/2 months. i have 7 children and started them all at this age. but all my babies have been big at birth. i also had the go ahead from my health visitor.

I started weaning my daughter when she was 5 months. In retrospect, i know now that she wasn’t ready (I don’t think that it did her any harm, just that she didn’t need it). She didn’t start grabbing for food and putting it her mouth, to chew and swallow until she was 8 months. These are the signs that i will look for if I have another child. If a baby is ready to eat, it will eat when food is OFFERED to it, not spooned into its mouth.

5 months, tried at 4 months but was told to stop by health visitor
