Husband vs. motherly instinct
My son is now 4 months old. Last week at his doctors appointment the Dr. Said we can start trying baby food. Now he didn't ask anything about whether or not my son acted like he was ready. I feel like he's not. He has no care in the world for our food when we are eating, he'd rather look around at everything. I don't think he has even lost the tongue-thrust reflex. I am exclusively pumping, since I wasn't about to breastfeed directly (story for another time), but I plan on going till 6 months at least if my supply allows. Now my husband says we should try baby food and what's it hurt to try. This evening he said, " Every person I've talked to with kids says if the doctor says it's okay to go ahead and try it." Now I know it's not going to hurt in trying but deep down I know my son isn't not ready and I don't want to push him if that makes sense. I feel pressured by him and his family, my mom supports and fully agrees with me that my son isn't ready. Am I wrong here? Should I just throw my instinct out the window and just try baby food? Should I stand my ground and say I want to continue exclusively with breast milk and try baby food when I know he is ready for it?
