I am also far more of the opinion that parents should be encouraged to "go with the flow" more rather than being told they "should" do this or "shouldn't" do that. Every baby and mum is different and mums generally have a pretty good instinct about what to do when they are not being confused by poor or conflicting medical advice.
:yeahthat:

sounds like you're doing things in the way that suits your little man the best. i didn't offer solids before a BF for ages - it wasn't until DS got himself into his own routine of feeding before his naps/sleep & i just fit in solids around that (which now happens to be before BFs i guess).
