just wondering if anyone started early or waited till 6 months before introducing soilds?

DS2 is a big boy was exclusive BF until the last few days as have offered formula dreamfeeds, only one at 10.30pm, as wakes a lot at night. Usually 4 or 5 times per night. I know formula top up's or soilds won't make a differencce to sleeping. BUT:

Plunket line suggested he may be ready for soilds, BUT he's only 4.5months this is too early i think.

What do you guys think?

didn't start with DS1til close to 6 months and he was't that interested then, loves food now though!

We tried solids at 3mth3weeks so 1 week before she was 4mths and she was fine, she was easily taking it. I did stop and didn't start until she was 5mths but that was mainly because I didn't have the time to feed her solids as I was moving and trying to pack etc. At the time she wouldn't eat can/jar stuff and that was too expensive for me anyway.

Hmm I personally wouldn't start solids yet. Their little tummy's just aren't ready for human food at that age. Being a big baby doesnt mean that they are ready for solids. And also, solids at the beginning shouldnt be to fix hunger, but for experimenting etc instead. JM2C

I'd try to hold off a bit longer. Is he having a good long feed when he wakes? I feed both sides, then offer the first side again to try to make sure our little'un has as much as he can hold (without spilling it back up )

You can always try solids and see if it helps, but as they recommend starting with a morning feed I'm not sure how this would help his sleeping for awhile.
