I was just wondering how you get on with introducing solids and fitting them around day sleeps? DD seems to want a sleep following a bottle, so solids get missed out because she is grumpy/ asleep. How do you fit them in? Do you offer them sooner after a feed, or once they wake up? -------------

About 30 minutes after a feed worked for me, any later than that she was tired or ready for more milk. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

With Ben I never followed the milk first, solids 2nd rules like I did with Jack, but then I did BLW with Ben and didn't with Jack.
I would offer solids (before or after milk) whenever it fits best into her routine, just ensure that milk still remains her main food source and that solids are just a sample/top up for the first few months. ------------- Lindsey

Yeah I agree with Linzy, since Maddi often fed herself to sleep we obviously couldn't give her solids after. We ended up fitting solids in between feeds, so she might have a BF at 10:30am - sleep for a hour - then have some solids after shes woken up a bit, then a BF. She was still BFing heaps through out the day so didnt really see it was doing any harm offereing it in a different order and specially since she would only have a couple of teaspoons anyway. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

We do BLW and the only time he got solids before boob was lunch and that was from 8 months. Our 'routine' (routine on demand) went something like this at 7 months:
7am - BF 8/8.30am - Breakfast Solids 9.30am - Nap 11am BF (until 8 months then it was solids first) 11.30am/12pm - Lunch solids 1/1.30pm - Nap 3pm - BF and sometimes a snack before dinner 5.30pm - Dinner 6.30/7pm - BF for bed ------------- Our Angel July 08 Gone but not forgotten

TK is 6 months this Saturday and I have been exclusively BF. Just started solids (BLW) last Saturday. I have always tried to offer BF soon after TK wakes and then again before nap.
I have noticed that when I offer BF now, soon after he wakes, he doesn't seem to interested (probably because he only naps for 1 hour blocks during teh day). Either way I offer solids 10-20 min after first feed, and then offer again after solids. I plan to do this for atleast a month and then try creeping in solids before BF. |
