Oh thanks Nikki.
I've read a lot about solid feeding but still feel like I'm flying really blind. It's hard to know what and when sometimes.]]> Wed, 02 Jun 2010 09:57:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33784&PID=1050442&title=dropping-a-feed#1050442 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33784&PID=1050164&title=dropping-a-feed#1050164 Author: Nikki

Morgan was on 4 feeds and 2 solids at that age. I'd just give him a little while after waking and then offer the feed. If he's still not interested you could add breakie as the next solid meal, then BF at morning tea time.]]> Tue, 01 Jun 2010 21:16:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33784&PID=1050164&title=dropping-a-feed#1050164 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33784&PID=1050142&title=dropping-a-feed#1050142 Author: RinTinTin

I'm going to still offer him the feed just incase he changes his mind but I won't panic if he refuses.
He's been on solids for 2-3 weeks now, and his Dad suggested that maybe he was ready for a 2nd solid feed a day as he gulps back what he gets at night and looks for more.

Will wait and see though.]]> Tue, 01 Jun 2010 21:02:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33784&PID=1050142&title=dropping-a-feed#1050142 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33784&PID=1050039&title=dropping-a-feed#1050039 Author: KiwisGirl

DD did this too.... she has been on 5 feeds a day for a couple months now and now that she is on solids.. it seems 5 is just too much so I have just adjusted her routine to 4 feeds, every 3.5hours... she seems much happier and also takes more per feed now that she is down to 4

Edit to say: Oh and she is a very nosey toad too when it comes to feed time

my llittle girl only ever had four feeds a day right from when she was a newborn...   i personally would just leave him a bit and offer it later. ]]> Tue, 01 Jun 2010 12:52:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33784&PID=1049431&title=dropping-a-feed#1049431 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33784&PID=1049429&title=dropping-a-feed#1049429 Author: first

By the time my boy was 6 months he was taking three to four Bf feeds a day and only a little solids.
You could just leave him to ask for his morning feed as he may just be wanting it a little later. ]]> Tue, 01 Jun 2010 12:52:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33784&PID=1049429&title=dropping-a-feed#1049429 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33784&PID=1049401&title=dropping-a-feed#1049401 Author: RinTinTin

For the last few days Mac has been refusing his moring BF or only taking little bits and if I keep offering it, he just ends up biting me instead...ouch.

My question is (or questions as it so happens), do I keep offering in the hopes he'll eventually pick it back up again? Do I replace it with a solid feed instead? Or do I leave him with just no feed at all?

At what age do babies normally drop a feed? He's not even 6 months old now and he only has about 8 feeds a day as it is. We've only been doing solids for 2-3 weeks and only small amounts in the evenings.

Any other info anyone can offer on this would be appreciated too. He's actually becoming a right little toad to feed. Either too nosey and looking around or he goes all rigid and grizzles at me (which I think is reflux maybe?)

TIA]]> Tue, 01 Jun 2010 12:40:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33784&PID=1049401&title=dropping-a-feed#1049401
