I never read Dr Spock or anything else, just used my instincts. It seemed to work. Mind you, I did have very healthy babies. Might have been different if I'd been worried about them.
Weaning was giving the baby food when it seemed interested. Mine were all breast fed and they all weaned themselves off the breast before they were a year old even though I was quite happy to continue. They just stopped and would look at me as if to say: I know there's something else. I want some of that. Interestingly, two of them haven't touched milk since then so maybe they never liked it much.
