I had to start solids for L recently at 16 weeks, he's a very hungry
baby but of course he's still too young to feed himself so he's fed from a spoon, he loves it, gobbles up all of his
baby porridge, carrots, sweet potato
etc I have no doubt that he will want to attempt this by himself as soon as he can but it's whatever works best for us at the time, no wrong or right way!
