First of all, this post is intended for mommas who waited till 6ish months, not 4( nothing wrong with 4, just not wanting info on that). Had my 4 month check up with my son today. Starting solids was a hot topic for the Dr. My baby is super content right now with breast milk. Stirictly breastfed, no supplementing. He has always been a big baby, born at 10.2lbs and now is 19lbs at 4 months. He sleeps 10hrs a night. When he is fed, he slurps down a 6-8oz bottle about every 4 hrs and is content. He gets 8oz right away in the morning and then takes  around 18-20 at daycare. I nurse him 2 times between daycare and bed. So I'm guessing he gets around 40 oz a day? Lol yeah that's a lot, but I make plenty, and like I said, he's happy, growing and thriving! He has stayed in the 98% for his size since birth, he's following the growth charts perfectly. I would like to wait till 5-6mo before I start foods... I actually want him sitting on his own first.. For the moms who waited till 6ish months, what was your reasoning for that? How did you know your baby was ready?
