Miss Sarah H and Little Miss Juliette - you are both doing an AMAZING job.
When I was in hospital, the MCHN there kept telling me to offer solids first, blah blah blah, despite the fact DS still eats like a horse and put on 600gms in 2wks :roll: Anyway.
There is no reason you can't take it slow with Juliette. I didn't have DS on solids fully until we went into hospital, and that was at almost 9 months. Breastmilk is still more important than solids at this age, and will still provide her with all the essential nutrients to keep her going and growing healthily.
Do what YOU want, YOU know YOUR baby and whatever YOU do will be wrong in a MCHN's eyes because they are so flipping by the book.
Is she content without solids?
Is she still sleeping?
Unless Juliette is demanding more food I say tell the nurse to shove it up her bum.
*ahem*
Off my soapbox now.
Juliette is beautiful, you are doing the best you can for her by trusting yourself. She deserves no less than that!
