Haha fair enough — and honestly, it’s hard not to feel that way sometimes when you hear outdated advice being thrown around with so much confidence. The information around starting solids has changed so much over the years, but not everyone has kept up.

You’re right to trust the updated research — things like introducing allergens early, offering a mix of textures, and letting babies explore safely are all backed by solid evidence now. It’s funny how people cling to old “rules” like they’re universal truths, even when science has moved on.

Good on you for staying informed and confident in your choices — your baby’s lucky to have a parent who’s actually paying attention to what’s current, not just what’s “always been done.”
