My daughter is 5 months old. I know she isn't ready to wean yet. She has started waking through the night and seems very hungry. Do you think its time start with the solids ?

Waking in the night is one of the signs your baby is ready for weaning but it's not the only sign. Baby has to take interest in food first and able to sit upright minimally unassisted. At 5 months my baby started to wake up every 2 hours at night. Even after starting solids it was slightly better but still about 3 hour on average, sometimes shorter. So I don't think solids helped but you could try.
