Solids before BF
« on: October 12, 2006, 14:46:29 pm »
I know everyone is a bit different, but I can't remember from my DD what age to start giving solids before BF.  I know my DS is a bit young still but I'm just wondering.

Thanks.

For us it happened when we dropped to 3 feeds.  When we were at 4 feeds it was:
7am bf
8 solids
11 bf
12 solids
3 bf
5 solids
7 bf
 
Now, since about 11 months or so, we're at:
6 bf
8 solids
10 snack
11:45 solids
12:30 bf
3:30 snack
5 solids
6 bf
