What Rana said. That is HORRIBLE advice.
my daughter has been eating baby food since 5 months. she was started early because she was drinking way too much milk. now, she will eat anything. i make my own baby food for lunch and dinner. i usually use last night's leftovers. i always have leftovers in my fridge and i cook pretty healthy so it works and she likes it way better then the baby food from a jar. i do still feed her the size 3 fruits and she still gets baby cereal, but she is tiny and needs to pack on some weight so i am feeding her all i can while i can, and the doctor said that making my own baby food would add more calories to her diet. she's almost 1 and is 16lbs.
Yikes, the Lil Sugar bit about solids has tons of bad information.
The Babble thing: "There's better evidence now, and it's pretty clear that the risks of avoiding fish are greater than risks of mercury poisoning. We know what happens when babies don't get enough DHA [an omega-3 essential fatty acid found in fish oils] — the eye and brain don't develop properly." Seriously? That's HIDEOUS advice. You can get Omega 3s from SAFE sources and mercury poisoning is a HUGE deal.
The biological readiness signs are sitting up unassisted, ability to put food in their own mouth, having teeth, has no tongue-thrust reflex, and shows interest and mimics your eating. Unlike one of the articles says, solids should not override liquid nutrition for AT LEAST the first year.
