<< I know a dietitian who says that if you don't start to feed a baby
 solids by 6 mos you lose the "teachable moments" window. She says she
 has seen failure to thrive babies because of this>>

yes, yes, we've all seen the tragedy of adults unable to eat because they
didn't begin to eat solid foods at six months. oh, if someone had only known
the danger!  the tragedies that could have been averted!

by the way, ask this person - is that when the baby is six months old? the
first day? or the last day of the month? what about adjusted age if the baby
was not born on his due date? how would one figure that out?
