Starting solid foods ~ is it time to start your infant on solids?
Hanna will be 5 months old on the 10th of this month. We are exclusively breastfeeding and will continue until she is 6 months. Since that's only a month away I thought I would start researching starting her on solids. She's teething and thought gumming an apple was great fun.
