Hi...I've been lurking for about a month now and plan to stick around
for quite a while.  I am a CLE and am currently enrolled in the UCSD CLC
program, as well as being an RN in the USN.

Question:
I know a dietitian who says that if you don't start to feed a baby
solids by 6 mos you lose the "teachable moments" window. She says she
has seen failure to thrive babies because of this. Has anyone else noted
this "teachable moment" phase in infant feeding/starting of solids? (and
subsequent relationship to failure to thrive)

Have you noticed babies who are exclusively bf at 6 mos start to slow
growth or become "ftt" because solids were not started?

thanks...
