What is a good clinical reason to introduce solis prior to 6 months? I have just read the new joint publication from the Health and UNICEF called, "Weaning: Starting solid food" From:  http://www.babyfriendly.org.uk/pdfs/weaning_leaflet.pdf They make a comment about if mothers choose to introduce solids prior to 6 months to avoid typical allergy foods, but what is a good clinical (medical) reason for introducting solid food prematurely? They suggest that food should never be given prior to 4 months!!! I would have thought 6 months or there abouts?


Blessings,
Rachael
