Getting Closer to Solids

For anyone who may not know I plan on child/baby led weaning.  I believe babies should not be given solids until at least six months old & even my pediatrician agreed.  Purees aren't really going to be a part of Spencer's diet.  If anyone doesn't know what baby led weaning is please visit here and you can read all about it.  I'm excited to start even though Spencer is no where near ready.  He'll be 5 months old on the 9th. It's hard to believe my tiny 6 lbs 8 oz baby is so big & smart now!  I never imagined I could love a baby as much as I love my angel, and it is something I worried about on a daily basis when I was pregnant. But I worried for nothing. I love him and his sister more than anything and I only want to do what is best and right for Spencer, so no solids until at least 6 months. I also plan to breast feed him until he naturally weans himself no matter what anyone says. Full term breastfeeding for everyone!
