DS didin't really start solids much at all atil about that age.
there are a couple of things you can try, either 3 bottles with a small amt solids after each, or just 2 solids feeds, in between the bottles.
I didn't start DS on 3 feeds of solids a day until about 9 months, but then he wasn't overly interested in it either.
what time does he wake up in the morning?
all you can do is try your best. if he is hungry he will let you know, and if its not 'time' to eat then so what.....adults don't always get hungry to a schedule, so while a routine is great, it can be more around the sequence of the events than the timing of them.
Yes I understand where you are coming from. I think I might cut him down to 2 solid feeds a day. and just let him tell me when he wants a bottle maybe.
Wow I answered rayray and there was to more replies LOL. As I said maybe I should just let him tell me. I guess it all depends on how hungry he is that certain day.
Thank you kimbaz for your routine I will have a look and see if just feeding him when he is hungry with 2 solids a day will work and then if that doesnt I will try some sort of routine LOL
Just thinking to myself then I was only thinking routine because Im worried that if he has his last bottle to early he will be waking up for night feeds????
my girl is 8.5 months and up until yesterday was having 3 solids a day and five bottles a day, with the last one at 10pm, am today changing it so her day is based around 3 meals a day (how it should be), with bottles afterwards, and her last bottle at 10pm... so something like this
not sure if that helps, but it shows you how we fit in the 3 bottles during the day (plus an extra to get her thru the night).... if it were me i probably wouldn't be cutting out a meal, as three meals a day is what you want them to be having, iykwim... at 7.5 months i was offering the bottle before the food, but now as she is approaching 9 months i am swapping them around... i've been told from 9 months they don't get all they need from the milk and its better to offer solids first so this is what i am working to. not sure if any of it helps u though!
