We're a few weeks away from 6 months and I've been prepping and buying stuff to get ready to start solids. But I'm really NOT excited about starting solids. I'm not looking forward to constipation, grosser poop, and what seems like the beginning of the end to my baby being a "baby". I would delay it as long as possible if I could, but people have told me they need iron and get texture aversions later if I don't start. I'm wondering if I should wait until almost 6.5 months, since that's our next ped visit. He didn't say anything about starting solids at our last visit.

But really, truly, I'm sad because I think starting solids really means she's growing up too fast! Wah! Anyone else felt that way?
