Dear parents,

I have decided to embark on a mini research project to determine what the average age is that parents are introducing solids into their baby's diet.  I worked at the Baby Expo this year and it was quite concerning to hear from mothers the age that solids are being introduced and what advice they are being given.  I also commonly see in my practice an early introduction of solids, in order to help the baby sleep through the night or to promote weight gain.

If you would like to take part, please could you kindly submit an email under the Contact's Page and provide the following information:
1. What age did you introduce solids?
2. What was the first food that was introduced?
3. Did you experience any problems with introducing solids i.e. gagging, choking, diarrhoea, constipation, fussy eating?
4. Where did you receive the information on when and how to introduce solids?

I look forward on hearing your responses and I will keep you updated on the findings.

Kind
