Of my four children, three were considerably later than six months when they 
started on solids - they all started at around 10 months. Yes, solids were 
available to them, but they were not interested and wouldn't eat them. None 
ever had any feeding problems (although they did all have allergic 
tendencies - which are common in my family - and I wonder if this was part 
of the reason they resisted solids).

I personally know a larger number of healthy, normal breastfed babies who 
didn't start on solids until well after six months, and none of them had 
problems eating when they decided they were ready.
