Can someone please tell me we're doing ok???

You are doing a great job, Sarah. to quote Pinky McKay - "Don't let anyone "should on you"....

I don't believe anyone has asked Juliette what she wants! There is no reason to hold back on solids - at this age she can eat what she wants! Nor is there any reason to hold back on breastmilk. she will set her own levels, and in turn that will help her understand her own appetite.

Good on you

Sarah! You're doing FINE!!

Juliette is only six months - my breastfed babe wasn't much interested in solids at six months either and was still having 8 breastfeeds in 24 hours at least. He was nearly 9 months before he really started eating solids properly and wanting them.

I am pleased to report he is now a happy, healthy, solids DEVOURING two year old...who is still breastfeeding

Listen to your instincts first and foremost - not someone who only sees your baby for 10 minutes a month You're doing great.

PS And Barb is dead on. She'll decide the right balance of breastmilk/solids and will do a good job of it too

Sarah, like the others have said, you are doing a brilliant job!

FWIW, Lexie late to start solids, and only managed 3 meals a day by about 14 months! No speech or overwight issues here.........
