Not weaning yet
Show your support
There’s actually studies that suggest weaning before 6 months can induce intolerances & allergies because their gut isn’t fully developed 😊
Yes i told them im the mother youll respect my wishes
I've found loads of older relatives want to dip my little girls dummy in their cup of tea!! Caffeine can stay in a baby's system for over 65 hours, I told them if they do, I'm going to be ringing them every time she wakes in the night, they soon stopped asking! With regards to food, I've just said it's milk only for now, my baby came early so she's now 5 months old and we've started letting her have little tastes of veggies, but that's something WE do as parents, the only other person that's looked after her without us is my mum and she respects that. She also spends a lot of time with me and baby so I know when I'm ready for her to have food with my mum, it'll be done the same as we do it.
Omg yes. Every time I speak to my sister in law she asks if we’re going to start him on anything. 🙃 Every time, I tell her the three signs we’re waiting for before starting. I don’t know why everyone is so invested, they won’t be preparing the food and attending feeding time anyway 😂
I know I don't get the rush to get them on solids, his gaining weight and is happy on milk, his jumping up percentiles even so it's not like there is a need for it
That’s awful! Are they aware that starting early weaning potentially can set off early allergies due to their gut not being mature enough? Maybe mention that! And I can’t believe someone pushed you into giving him chocolate! It contains caffeine so shouldn’t really be given until 2! I don’t know why people are so pushy with other peoples kids
@Leah we wish we would've been stronger and more persistent on the no, it was white chocolate meant to be better but he was still to young, we now at least use it as a reason when people do get pushy that we aren't doing it, though they still push we are much more adamant on it
Yes 🤦🏻♀️ my mum keeps reminding me I was on baby rice by 3 months old!! And my MIL said her other grandchildren started weaning at 4 months... We're leaving our baby over night with her soon, he'll be 4.5 months and I'm so scared she's going to give him something 😬
I know I get so scared someone is going to give him something when I'm not there and though the only person we have left him with always asks and I'm constantly saying no, they do at least say yes I know it's your decision which is why I asked, but the amount of times they asked I do get worried they might but my partner suggested to remind them when we drop him off or they come round to watch him, so they can't be like I forgot or you didn't say
Oh gosh I don’t think I’d be able to be very polite about that! Definitely not on my agenda until at least 6 months
