When did you start solids?

I was always under the impression that babies are not supposed to start solids until they are 6 months old. My ped. told me that we are going to start our son on solids at 4 months. Did anyone ever hear of this?

You might want to talk to a nutritionist.  Also,you might ask your doctor why he or she is thinking this.  I know my doctor was talking about supplementing my baby because I was doing too much and the baby was not getting enough.  The nutritionist put me on bed rest and told me to eat avocados, and fresh orange juice made at home and pecans together to make my milk richer.After that the baby gained an ounce a day and did not need the supplement.  This did not take more than a couple of weeks of rest and then I just slowed down instead of trying to do everything, everyone and myself could think of doing. The idea that you can do everything you want and others want you to is unreasonable. 

If you are concerned, you can always ask your doctor.  I started giving my daughter rice cereal at four months.  And at first, it was a very small amount.  My doctor told me it was to help in weight gain.   The vegetables start around 6 months.   Don't be afraid to ask your doctor, though!
