My partner's sister began giving her son solids from about 3 months, the same with his cousin's missus. They look on it as give the baby what it wants or needs and bugger any guidelines. Though I admit I'm there like a middle aged midwife with a slight scowl, feeling of shock and an odd comment here and there. Trying to explain to them that the baby's internal organs aren't developed enough for that, and I nearly flew off my seat when his cousin said he'd given the baby a bit of honey (something they shouldn't have for at least a year) and vimto!
Basically what I'm saying is people will always have their own views on what is best for their child regardless of legislation, women will find a way around this breastfeeding thing.
On the topic of breastfeeding, I'm annoyed to find in a town the size of mine the only counselling group is the other side of town to me, a good 4 miles away, there are some in neighbouring towns/villages but nothing local or even practical for me to get to. (Oh and 12 weeks to go
)
