Wendy, when you get a chance, maybe you can check these refs very 
carefully. I don't think there is anything in Cochrane that concludes 
babies should be given tastes of food, deliberately, before 6 mths, 
for instance.

References to papers in journals may actually turn out to be opinion 
columns, or personal experiences, rather than empirical research.


Which countries do they say have changed their protocols?
