We started when LO was 6 months old. LO is in the 5th percentile for weight and 25th percentile for height and head size.

My son was born in the 1st percentile and at 7.5 months is pretty much still there (born 5 lb 5 oz and now about 15 lbs). He's 20th for height and head though. My ped has never really been concerned bc hubs and I are small and he's had good growth.

We started solids at 4 months - just rice cereal at first and then tastes of purees. We did it more becuase he was interested and it tends to help with reflux (which my son had). He loved them so we've steadily increased. He does like avacado and has that a few times a week, but mostly has just purees. Our dr at one point talked about fortifying solids with olive oil if he wasn't gaining well, but he's gained plenty (2 lbs a month the first 2 months and a pound a month since).
