There is lots of conflicting information being thrown around at the moment about how best to feed and wean your baby. On one hand the government are saying that babies should be weaned at 6 months and then on the other hand the University College London’s Institute of Child Health are saying 4 months might be ok too.

This is all because of the information laid out by the World Health Organisation has to cover many different countries and continents. So while they advocate breast is best up to 6 months on a global scale, it may be better for those parents in developed countries to try to wean their babies slightly earlier. Why? because they say that there is little chance of contaminated food in developed countries and the baby may suffer iron deficiency, or even be more prone to allergies if exclusively breast fed for the first six months.

The worrying thing about this recent revelation is that no organisation wants to categorically state what is right. Most likely because they just don’t know what’s best.
