Weaning

still offer milk as usual, eventually you'll get the hang of when they want milk or when they want solid. that's how I did it and it worked for me aha

There's a weaning group on the app you can use for help with this. But essentially, what I'm planning & a few have recommended is, milk in the morning & around lunch, give food & see how they take to it, if they're still hungry, give a bottle.

Milk is the main source of nutrition until the age of 1. Milk first, then weaned food. But essentially, it’ll be a teaspoon of whatever food (just once a day) & they always advise to start with vegetables that aren’t sweet. So spinach etc. This is because if you offer sweet food first then you’ll struggle with other foods. I am sure you know but the guidance is to wean at or after 6 months, but most importantly, once full neck & trunk control is developed. Baby will be at high risk of choking otherwise.

I got told by my HV to offer milk as normal. And, to remember that the solids aren’t really going to fill them up just yet as there’s a lot that comes with weaning, it’s sensory, opening their pallet, hand-eye coordination etc. So it’s ok if they don’t eat a lot to start with, my 7month old doesn’t eat loads now and still has his usual milk bottles x

Offer him his usual bottles, all of them. Then 30-60 mins later offer a teaspoon or 2 of solids. Just once a day to start with and over the next few months you can build up on it.
