I wonder if this also applies to starting solids? I think it's best to wait until a baby shows interest in solid foods before starting them, instead of just starting solids because they are the "right age".
Very much agree with this. If we are pushing the babies to eat all the food we put in the dish we are just training them that you eat til it's gone and not til you're full. Even though you tend to become full before you're plate of food is gone. So I think we should start early at letting them know it is okay to save some for later or next time.
