I think we are starting this weekend as well. (Son was born 2 June).
My maternal nurse said if the baby is fully on breastmilk, they will get really hungry by 5 months. Maternal nurse asked me to watch the signs to see if my baby is not satisfied with breast milk only. I think he has reached that point. He has been wanting a feed again every 2 hours instead of 3 hours.
Also there is a change in view in the time of introduction of solids re allergy in Australia. They now recommend people starting early from 4 months to avoid food allergy!! Once you started, you just go on one food at a time. There is no need to restrict the range of food to try.
Anyway, I am going to get some rice cereals tomorrow and try it out.
