Diane W. quoted from Gerber's website:
"If your baby can hold his head up, you may consider introducing solids
soon."

So, Barb, do you think it is your grandson's 'obesity' that is making it
hard for him to hold his head up, and that's why your daughter has not
considered that it must be time to introduce solids?

Kristiansand, Norway, where I work with many newborns who apparently are
showing readiness for solids on the first day of life - and here I thought
they were just trying to find the breast!  Come to think of it, maybe a
breast counts as 'solid' ?
