Okay, spoke to GP.. She apoligised for confusing me ... She had only just got back from holidays, Thats why the surgery was so busy.. anyway..
She said i should start Scarlet on solids, give her tastes, because she's way over double her birthweight & has a toothy-peg that has just cut through (i didn't even notice! but i checked & she does have a little bit of it that has cut through! can't believe how good she's been, hope the rest of teething if this easy, lol) & i should give her 2 bottles of water a day after we're established on 2 serves of solids per day (which she says will take 2 weeks) the water is to replace one formula feed to even out the calories from the solids so she doesn't put on too much weight. She emailed me a program to use that goes in 2 weekly intervals just to use as a guide because i told her solids are scary LOL
weeks 1 & 2 goes;
early AM bottle
AM bottle
Lunchtime; half of lunch bottle, solids (teaspoon or two), other half of bottle.
PM bottle
Late PM bottle
Weeks 3 & 4;
Drinks of water through out the day.
AM bottle
Lunch bottle, half, solids (2 courses, same type as above plus new taste), other half.
PM bottle
late PM bottle
And so on...
so it's pretty slow & steady.
Does that sound right experienced mummies?
(sorry this post is so big & confusing, i'm really not sure about all of it)
