I don't know why I need this, or why I ever listen to my mother.

I now have DS on a feeding routine to help him sleep longer. It's working. I won't refuse him a feed if he's hungry, but a routine is helping us. I didn't want to do this in the early days, or during teething, but this is just after a growth spurt.

We have: wake-up feed (about 7ish)
breakfast of porridge (and usually breast too) at 8.30
Lunch of breast at 12, fruit at 1.30 when he wakes up
Snack of breast at 4
Dinner (solids only) at 6-6.30ish
Feed to sleep about 8ish.

Feeds overnight currently at 12ish and 4ish.

My mother says that DS should be fully on solids now, just one BF a day. Neither of us are ready to cut back that much. We like our breastfeeding relationship! But am I doing the wrong thing by DS by not pushing solids?

tHANKS!
