Solids / Milk
Hi I just started purée for my 6 month baby- how much milk do I carry on giving her in addition? For example I give her purée veg at 12, she is then full and wouldn’t want milk straight away. What time would you offer milk? And how many bottles a day in total? Worried underfeeding or over feeding ..
tks x

@Levi i agree. Based on what I’ve read / heard in a weaning course, we are expected to continue to give usual milk and add food in between milk feeds. My baby used to eat every 3 hours - 9am, 12pm, 3pm etc We started with lunch, so I’d give her food around 1/1:30pm
In the first month of weaning, they should have at least one meal. We were told that babies should ideally be on 3 meals a day by the time they are 8 months old. Only add next meal, once you’ve mastered the first one (i.e. how it fits within your overall schedule etc)

I tend to give my baby milk about half an hour before so solids don’t replace a milk feed but they aren’t too full after their milk to eat. I could be wrong but I don’t think they should be dropping any milk this young.
