Anyone started weaning diet for your lo before he/she hit 6 months? My lo is turning 6 months at end of June and she do show interest in foods that I'm eating. I'm thinking of starting weaning diet for lo 1-2 weeks earlier. Is there any parents that can share their experiences when starting weaning diet before the 6 months mark and what's the recommendations?

I started introducing solids to my LO when she turned 4mths old.. started with what other mummies said, the less allergic food like apple, pear, banana, avocado, pumpkin, homemade cereals, etc. Single food type each time and each food type for 3 consecutive days to see if there's any allergic reactions before changing to another. So i make the puree in batches, froze them into cubes and thaw them when I want to feed her. I don't know whether it was because she was only 4mths old and so the extrusion reflex was not lost yet, the initial days she would use her tongue to push the food out. However I kept trying and after a few days she no longer have this issue. Now she is 6mths old and she can eat alot already. lol.
