[quote=Anonymous]I waited to introduce solids until my daughter was a year old.  She was chunky, strong, happy and meeting all of her milestones...including walking by 9 months. (which has nothing to do with bf but just saying she was far from behind developmentally)

It took about a month for her to really become interested in eating but now she eats like a champ.  And loves incredibly healthy foods.  At 2 1/2 yrs old her fave foods are avocado, bell peppers, eggs, oatmeal, any fruit and veggies.  She has less healthy food on occasion but is happy to keep healthy for the bulk of it.  She experienced non of the negative side effects people described here.  I'm curious where you found these stats and who tested them.  I have a strong feeling they didn't do much research.  That, or my little girl is just that awesome! :)

I know another little girl that had extreme food allergies and wasn't able to take solids for the first 1 1/2 years.  Same story as my little one.  Could'nt tolerate foods but still happy, healthy, smart!

My doctor recommended waiting and I'm so glad I did.

A funny story... my sister kept telling me my daughter wouldn't gain fine motor skills since she wouldn't be practicing picking up small things like cheerios or other small foods.  Now my sister is baffled by her motor skills, large and small.[/quote]
