Excellent news! Well done you! it's not all the baby or nature, it's mainly Mum's hard work to thank.
I weaned them once they were 6 months - they couldn't even sit up so I felt it wouldn't be right to do it sooner. so basically, I did it cos that's when I believed I had to, and I felt it was OK because they were 4 months corrected and that's the minimum age for weaning any baby - but I checked with the health visitors and pediatrician too.
They enjoyed their food at first, but I struggled with my daughter til she was about 10 months, eg not wanting the spoon in her mouth. I tried a combination of home made purees, baby lead weaning and then pouches like Ella's Organic who do some simple pure flavours - you can open a pouch and freeze it in cubes (saves soooo much time, wish I'd known it early on).
I bought really expensive highchairs which were suitable from birth to give them the support they needed (chicco polly magic) but I wish I'd not - I hate them! So many nooks and cranies for the food to get in, a real nightmare to keep clean. I wish I'd simply fed them in their bouncy chairs until they could sit up and then got a very cheap basic (like Ikea) chair which is easy to clean. Sure it's not got the padding, recline etc, but so what - they're really not in them for long.
Feel free to ask any more Qs if you have them (although I only log on about once a week)
