You can start solids at 4 months but you should check with your Pedi first. Often they still have bad tongue reflex and just spit most of it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experiences-with-baby-led-weaning#post-269599 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 10:25:13 +0000 Mrs.M57 269599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As my little one approaches 4 months(next wednesday :-)) and is starting to look at my food with curiosity, I've started researching when/how to start solids. I came across a lot of info on Baby Led Weaning, something that I never knew about previously, but sounds kind of great!</p> <p>Anyone have experience with baby led weaning with their little one? </p>
