Weaning my Afeef

Baby experts recommend weaning babies at the age of 6 months, however, my "semangat" boy seems to show signs that he's ready for weaning at the age of 4 months old:


1) He can sit up


2) He can hold his head


3) He shows curiosity (terliur!) when he sees me or his Babah eating at the age of 3 months plus


4) He likes to put things into his mouth and love sucking his two hands and sometimes he sucks them soo hard that he didn't realize he has pushed his hands too deep into his mouth that he choked and he always bite his hands while sucking smpai berbekas merah.

5) He is still hungry after a bottle full of FM feeding.

6) My BM is not enough for him for a feeding period.

7) He has not just doubled, but double-and-a-halv-ed his weight!
Now I am torn. My Mama strongly advised me to start at 6 months however Afeef has shown the above signs. I should have asked his Paed at his 4 months visit. After discussing with Hubby, I think we shall start on his Solid at 5 months that is after his 5 month visit to the Paed.
