Mine came at 35weeks hun, I spoke with my HV and she said it was fine to start weaning mine when they where 18weeks, I only started gently with root vegetables and only started giving them one meal a day for about a week and half and then up'd it to 2 meals a day until they were 6mths when I gave them 3 meals. They are doing really well and are now eating foods with lumps and finger foods no problem. Not every baby is in the whole world is the same, some will not be ready before 6mth some are ready before.

Mine were not settled even after having 8ozs including hungry baby milk. Hope this helps hun.

Mine have only just started going in there highchairs hun, I used to feed them in their swing and baby bouncer. I then went onto the Bumbos and now highchair. There are some highchairs that can be used from 3mth that tilt back hun, my friend has two for her twins.

its says from 3months on the box hun. Try putting them onto 8oz and see how they seem then, they usually say when they are on 8oz and still hungry then they may be ready to wean.

I know what you mean!

Dont they grow so quick thou? How are going on, they are so much fun arent they, mine have started pinching toys and their dummies out of each others mouths now its sooooo funny.

Ok - I'm just going to say what I did with Jamie.

He was 35weeks. And small.

I breastfed him fully until he was 6 & 1/2 months. When I expressed it was 8 oz, and I slowly moved him from breast to bottle over another 2 weeks, which made him 7 months old, and fully bottle fed. By that time he had 4 bottles of 8 oz, 4 times a day every 4 hours until bedtime at 6-7pm.

At 7 months, I started with babyrice and pureed food. I put him in a bouncer as he wasnt strong enough to hold his head up. From about 9 months he was strong enough for a bumbo, and now at 12 months is strong enough for a highchair. He loves biscuits and can self-feed those, but most of his other solids are still pureed or slightly mushy - eg oats or porridge or weetabix.

Both my boys have very strong dairy & egg allergies, so I didnt give wheat until 12 months, and have to be really careful with what I feed them.
