ready for more?

I was just wondering what everyones views were on early weaning? Cahal is still exclusively breast fed on demand but is now demaning every hour or so! He only gets a couple of hours of sleep at a time at night and we're both pretty exhausted....

Also he can't take his eyes off whatever we're eating and everything he picks up is going in his mouth. I've tried calling the health visitor for some advice but as usual, straight to voicemail and no return of call.....

Should I give him a bit of banana or something? Or is it too soon? We're planning on baby-led weaning. Help!!! Oh, he's 16 weeks and 4 days old

hi my lo is 17 weeks 3days, my lo started wanting feeeds every hour from about 15 weeks,and was really unsettled even after a feed. everything was going in her mouth, she was even taking my hand and putting it in her mouth!lol. she was intrigued at us eating and would lean towards our food.
once she turned 16weeks and 4 days i started giving her some baby rice, baby porridge and some farleys dissolved in water, i have been giving one of these in the evening between 5 and 7, she is so more settled now and goes to sleep without crying at night. and she enjoys it and eats it. im definately glad i started weaning early.
this is my first lo, and i am a strong believer that mother knws best.
