space themselves?
I am not in any rush, but would like an idea of when I can schedule a few
doctor appointments for myself where he wont be permanantly glued to me.

My son is 7 months old now and I can't seem to get him interested in solid
foods.  I started introducing them at 5.5 months, but he seemed pretty
