Hi thank you for your advice on weaning its very helpfull . I have started giving Olivia small amounts once a day and she has taken to it well . I have invited you as a friend hope you will accept . Thanks once again.

I'd consider how big your baby is. If your daughter is quite big (and obviously healthy), she could be a little further along in her development than other babies her age. You could try a milk for hungrier babies first if you aren't already. If you do feel she's ready stick to very small amounts with one meal where you have a bit of time to sit and be patient with her. As for the best type my experience is that it doesn't make a difference. Just note that as you'll only be using small amounts there's no point buying big packets as the use by date on them is fairly short and you'll find yourself throwing away food.

we have allready incresed the baby's bottles but she still finishes them and cry's for more. the health visitor has spoken to us about starting weaning but we also wanted to get advise from other mothers about it. Other mothers in our area with baby's younger & the same age have told us that they are allready weaning thier baby's. As first time parents we are not sure what to do any advise would be gratefully recived thanks.

I would start in the morning time after 1st feed, as weaning at this age should be additional and not instead of milk - one tea spoon full mixed with 2 tea spoons full of babies usual milk. See how baby gets on with that amount for a while before increasing. 13 weeks is still young tho, I waited until 20 weeks, maybe try increasing milk feeds first? What's your reason for wanting to wean now?

Hi im just starting to wean my daughter she is 13 weeks old i have bought cow&gate baby rice was just wondering if anyone has any recomendations on what brand & type to use first & how often i should give it to her each day to begin with ?
