Hi girls,

Just thought I should post this one here and see what you think. I borrowed a baby book from a friend. It is an old book but full of helpful tips. The section on when one should consider introducing solid states that we should consider introducing solid when a baby feeds the max of 200ml (bottle feeding) for their feeds as baby's tummy can only take 200ml max each feed (I assume they are referring to babies under 6 months). If baby feeds 5 times a day and each 200ml. This means they will be eating 1L per day which according to the book might not be enough for a baby who weighs more than 6kg (because baby needs 3 oz or 85ml for every pound of weight). If baby is still hungry from this then it is time to consider introducing solid, obviously as supplement to the milk. What are your thoughts on this? The book did indicate that babies under 4 months should not be given solid unless under medical advice. My baby is currently feeding 5 times a day with most of her feeds being close to 200ml. Only the early morning (6 am) and breakfast (at 10 am) she would only have between 100 - 160ml. I don't intend to introduce solid but there are times when I will prepare a bottle (200ml) and she would drink it all up and still sucking. I feel like giving her some more but am afraid that it passes what her stomach could handle.
