i went and saw the CYH nurse and she said i should now be trying to get indi to feed on solids more and work up to her having her 3 main meals a day. how much solids should a 6 month old be having after her bottle? and what sort of routine do you have your children in? at the moment i am feeding her solids after her morning feed and her afternoon feed.
samps, if indi is happy and healthy, there's no reason why you *have* to enforce more solids, gee she's only little for three solid meals a day! Now is the time they say it's okay to introduce foods, but if you're both still happy breastfeeding I wouldnt worry. My first daughter wanted nothing but breastmilk for a long time and finally weaned at two (still eats like a sparrow) and she grew at every visit and still is the perky, bright eyed gorgeous thing she always was! :)
MCHN's are not very helpful with the gentle stuff, it'd be all controlled crying and formula / top ups / more solids if most of them had their way!
