weaning at 6 month?

Question

Do you wean at exactly 24 weeks or 6 months to the date? So my baby was born 1st December, she'll be 24 weeks on 18th may but 6 months on 1st June...
Hope this makes sense lol

Edit... I am feeding my daughter at 6 months, I'm going to do baby led weaning, but when do I class her as 6 months? 24 weeks is 6 months which would be the 18th of may but she was born 1st of December so 1st of June should be 6 months... which date would you go on her being 6 month? Like injections they count the months in weeks not by the date...

We started after his 6 month bday. If the recommendation was in weeks, they'd have specified the number of weeks instead of months.

Answer

Breastfeeding is the normal way of providing young infants with the nutrients they need for healthy growth and development. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended up to 6 months of age, with continued breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary foods up to two years of age or beyond.

Answer

I'm going for the 6 month option but don't know if that is the right thing to do!

Answer

Your baby will be 6 months old on June 1st. You use the month not week. So every 1st your baby will turn another month older.

Answer

I started all 3 of my boys at 6 months and it's a great time for solids. I do very few puréed foods because by 6 months, baby can self feed.

Answer

Me neither, she is 20 week old today and seems like she'd be ready but don't want to feed her unnecessarily 😕
