But I AM a Super Hero and my Super Hero name is...... The Nourisher.

When my daughter was four months old, the nurse at her checkup told me she didn't weigh quite as much as she "would like" and that that "we" would start her on solids (despite a family history of allergies) immediately and then on meats at six months. I looked up her weight and found she was in the 25th percentile but still within the normal weight range so I continued to exclusively breastfeed until she was six months old and then slowly started her on solids. She was a healthy baby with no colds, ear infections or any other illnesses. The first time she got sick was when I started her on solids and she had a reaction to bananas! I'm so glad I followed my instincts. This is so confirming for me.
