As an experienced breastfeeding mother, I had decided with my third to
introduce solids later rather than earlier.  If waiting til six months was
good then waiting a year must be even better.  Well, you guessed it, my
little guy had his own ideas about starting solids. Attending a party at 5
months, he crawled all the way across a large rug to get a croissant, he was
not to be denied.  The hostess aptly commented that she didn't understand
why mothers didn't know when it was time to introduce solids. If you watch
the baby , s/he will give you undeniable cues :) Cathy
