f/u starting foods

PhillyGal34

I know the AAP recommendation is breast milk only for 6 months (although it also says to start foods around 4-6 months so it is confusing).  DS is almost 4 months actual age (almost 2 months adjusted age) so he isn't quite ready to start yet but DH is really excited for him to start foods ... I assume so that he can feel more involved in feeding times. 

 

Is there a negative to starting foods before 6 months? if so, what is it? I am not sure what to do... thanks!
