what age....

is the latest you think babies should start solids?

The latest? A year, I guess...

I think it all depends on the baby. My SO had a feeding tube until he was about 2 1/2, and didn't have solid until after that.

I thought about editing my post after reading the OP again.  I would say one, would be close to the latest to start.

I would say 1. Its really hard to say since some kids are really picky with textures and stuff.

personally i would say 9 months but i think they are more into making you start babies on food between 6-8 months here.
12 months isnt too bad but after age 1 i think a child really should be on some sort of food other than milk.

totally agree, my DS is BLW now and some things he loves some he hates, tried to give him portobello mushrooms earlier he would turn away everytime i tried to make him touch one, then he licked it and screwed his face up lol.

Lol sounds cute! I think that parents should at least be trying by one!

I think 1 is the time they tell you you have to start because breast milk isn't enough anymore.

my thoughts exactly!

Just start introducing solids, yeh? Not necessarily have them eating more "adult" food than breast milk? Cos I've only ever heard BFing 1+yr to be encouraged and beneficial for baby.

But "food before one is just for fun." Up to the parent to decide, of course, but there's no NEED to start solids til 1yr, unless your child's pediatrician directs you otherwise (weight gaining issues, etc.)
