I’m glad you mentioned this as I’m in the same situation. But I actually gave her a quarter of mashed banana today and she loved it. Not sure if it actually filled her up she still wanted more milk lol

Food won’t fill your baby up more than milk will. The amount of food babies will swallow is tiny compared to how much milk they will get. She could just be going through a growth spurt and need more milk… They shouldn’t be having loads of solids at 6-7 months let alone 5 months, literally a couple of spoonfuls of purée, or a bit of finger food…

My little girl has banana porrage for breakfast with a 4oz bottle she then had fruit for snack and then another 5 Oz bottle then dinner pudding and 4 Oz bottle she then has a 6 Oz bottle then bedtime porrage and then a 7oz bottle for bed with snacks threw out the day she only has a spoon and half of the porrage and dinners and puddings so not massive amounts but she's always demanding more

We started purées at 4 months, he still nurses every 1-2 hours all day and even at night

My little girl sleeps all night i couldn't breast feed my milk didn't come in cause she was premature I did try I think she would of settled more if she was breastfeed with the food its better for them

Yeah been slowly weaning for a couple of weeks as she’s just so interested in food and now has 2 teeth she is displaying every sign she’s ready and it’s more of a chore for us all to try fight it and have her scream at mealtimes instead of giving her a spoon full of mashed food so she can please herself

I've been trying mine for a few weeks now, she still has a 6oz bottle every 2 hours, but also has a few spoons fulls of something in-between each bottle, starts grunting and kicking off if I don't give her enough😂 keeps grabbing the food off my plate too and screaming to reach it

Started at 4. Now I can’t eat my food in peace. Gave her some oxtails and she loved it. Barely get to eat cause I had to give her to suck on

I started weaning at 4 months and haven’t looked back. My little boy loves his food

Also started weaning around 4.5 months and baby loves it. Only doing 1 meal a day tho which is dinner.
