Starting solids early?

Yes, and if she is hungry for solids she'll take to them at 6mos. My
first son was at or over the 100% in both length and weight and he wanted
absolutely nothing to do with solids until he was 10mos old. He was
perfectly content with breastmilk. He also grew and developed perfectly
fine on breastmilk alone.

being pedantic here, you cannot be over the 100% line, if you are the chart
really says 100%, they should really redo the chart, with your data as 100%,
what the lines on the chart mean are "x% of babies weigh less than this" as
it's impossible to put a maximum, the top line is usually 99.6%, or
something similar, saying almost all babies are below this line.

I didn't actually read the chart myself. The nurses just told me. Probably
just saying what ever was easiest in lay man's terms :-)
