At 6 months I did lunch or dinner. I gave it 30 minutes to 1 hour after milk. At 8 months we moved to 2 meals. Where she had lunch and dinner again 30 minutes to an hour after food. She's 1 this weekend and we still do milk first. We went to 3 meals at 10 months. I avoided breakfast as I'm not really a morning person and I honestly struggle to eat breakfast myself. I'm not sure when food will be given first it depends on her. I priorities milk over food until 1. She eats well, is gaining steadily and has dropped two of her bottles when she turned 9 months
Thank you so much!! When you say 30 mins or an hour after milk do you mean you still do normal bottles and give lunch? or cut out some xx
You still give normal bottles of milk and offer food around 1 hour after. You can choose whether to start with breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can offer 1 meal or 2 meals a day, it’s all personal choice. Over time baby will realise that they get full from food and will naturally drop bottles. For most babies, milk is still their main source of nutrients until 1. It can take a while for them to be actually eating proper meals. By 1 year they should ideally be having 3 meals and 2 snacks per day and will most likely be down to 2 bottles (morning and bed time) Get allergens out of the way early!
This is so helpful thank you so much🖤
Following this need some tips too x
Annabel karmel and Charlotte sterling-reed both have some really good weaning books with good timetables in them. They both recommend to start with giving food at lunch time rather than mornings/evenings. Best to start with veg over fruit as they can end up accustomed to the sweetness from fruit and then not wanting anything else that isn’t sweet. With allergens it’s recommended to introduce earlier in the day so that you have all day to look out for any reaction that may occur, and only introduce one allergen at a time. I’ve started weaning and found he’s preferred me mixing a bit of his milk in with any purées and making them creamier. Sips of water with a meal, we really like the munchkin 360 cups x
Following this as I’d really like to know too!
