Last Tuesday, Sammy weighed in at 19 lbs, 13 oz. (99%) with a height of 26 3/4 (94%) inches at his 4 month check-up. In speaking with Dr. B, he recommended we wait until 5 months before introducing solids, however, he realized we had a big boy on our hands and he might want it sooner. He told us if Sammy showed signs of hunger after nursing, we could consider introducing a single grain for a two week period and then add in some veggies. He was really impressed to see such a healthy, exclusively breastfed baby and gave me kudos for my commitment to nurse. Breast milk will remain his primary, but solids will serve as a secondary to aid him when he needs to be topped off. I have no plans to wean him of breast milk. I think our relationship has many months to go before he calls it quits for us.
