We've started weaning DD2. She's over 5 months old now, and we're doing Baby-Led Weaning (as we did with DD1). She likes slices of banana, but wasn't keen on a stick of cooked carrot. She likes to suck the juice from raw red pepper (but not bothered by the yellow pepper) and will sometimes eat potato. So, at the moment, we're sticking mainly to banana. i have bought some butternut squash, so will try her with some of that this week.
As I'm breastfeeding (and even if I wasn't, it would be the same), milk will be her main source of nutrition until she is a year old, so there really is no rush. The point of weaning, at the moment, is to introduce new flavours, new textures and to get her used to chewing (mashing her gums) and swallowing solids.
