I have read a couple of the other recent posts about when to start solids, and it seems to me like most of the babies are ready. They are hungrier, and big and ready. I'm jealous. I want to start trying to feed solids, but dd is just about 14 pounds and she only eats btw 24 & 28oz. So I have to wait at least a few more weeks, if not till 6 months. The pediatrician told us we can wait till 6m, especially since she's not eating a whole lot. But it's funny because she loves to watch me eat. I don't think it's that she wants food, it's just she likes to watch me chew. I had heard that when they start watching you eat, that they are ready. Did anyone else's baby like to watch you eat, and then take to solids? We had to give her apple prune juice for a couple days for constipation, and she hated that. We even tried straight apple juice and she hated it too. I thought all kids loved juice.
