[quote=Anonymous]I'm just curious: who believes in no solids before one year besides Mayim Bialik? I get the impression it's what mothers do who are really, really afraid of weaning and scared that their child is going to prefer solid foods to their breast. I just don't get the rationale behind it otherwise. It seems to me like denying an older baby tastes of food is kind of like trying to keep your child from learning to crawl, or walk, by never allowing their feet to touch the earth. I am also curious what "centuries old" culture the PP who mentioned it is from, since my Indian relatives also start solids before 6 months, along with the European ones. The only reason I can imagine for withholding food from a healthy, curious, adventurous eight-, nine-, or ten- month old is because there is a famine and all solid foods need to go to the adults first.[/quote]
