DS is 8.5 months and goes both ways, it all depends on when he wants his bf. Atm he is feeding before a sleep so will have his solids not long after he wakes. He is still bf-ing heaps in 24 hours though, like 6+ times so I am not worried about solids over taking milk intake lol. And we do BLW so he doesnt eat a massive amount. My MCHN has said that from 8-9 months to start offering solids first to milk, but idk seems a little early imo. If DS was doing feed-play-sleep I would be offering milk first. If he has a longer wakeful period or wakes in between meal times (at like 11am or something), I try and shove the boob at him before he is due of a solid feed lol.
I have really struggled working out what to do with DD - pretty much since she started solids I have felt like I didn't know when to offer breast and when to offer food. Funny cos I don't remember it being an issue with DS! Anyway, I was reading DS's baby book the other day and I had written down his routine at 10 months. Tried that with DD (9 months) today and it worked well. So our new routine is going to be BF when she wakes, breakfast about 1.5 hours later, sleep. Breastfeed when she wakes (although I will drop this one soon), lunch, breastfeed, sleep. Afternoon tea when she wakes, dinner, breastfeed, bed. Fingers crossed that this works!!!
