Solids
Just starting to introduce my baby to solids. How are your feeding schedules while doing so? Are you bottle feeding a few ounces prior and then finishing up with solids or strictly solids then other feeding milk? Just trying to figure out what best fits my LO

I was told at 6 months 1 meal a day about 2 table spoons 30 minutes to 1 hour after milk by my health visitor. Their stomach is roughly the size of their closed fist. Some babies may want more some may want less but the average is about 2 tablespoons.
Super helpful ! Thank you so much!!
I'm doing one pouch a day for dinner and milk for the rest for now
You're overthinking it, love. Do what's best for you. There's no rules. I do 1 meal a day until baby tells me she's doesn't want anymore. Milk the rest of the day.

We always followed the Solid Starts suggested schedules by age (I mean not exactly but used as a guide). At 6 months we did one meal per day of solids. Typically around 45 minutes after a milk feed is good - you don’t want them too hungry or too full.
