Help!! My ds is 6mths old. I started him on solids at 4mths as he weighed 19lbs. When he gets up in the morning, which can be anywhere from 6-8am, I sometimes offer the bottle first and sometimes cereal first. Sometimes he eats cereal first, other times he wants the bottle first. Then for the second feed, I offer the bottle first, fruit second, third feed, bottle first, veggies second. My problem is that many times all he wants is the bottle and I think I am offering the solids too soon after the bottle (within 20-30m). I think I will try to wait 1&1/h hrs like I notice many moms doing. He also is starting to stay up 21/2-3hours and then maybe nap. He sometimes wakes up and I have to do p/u.p/d to get him to go back to sleep, which could take 1/2hour. My other dilemma is this: many times he wants to eat say at 4pm-an 8oz bottle, then again at 6pm then again at 7:30-7:45pm, then bedtime. We are still doing the df at 11pm, assuming he does not wake up before then. He is consuming a lot of liquid (35-40oz/day) and I don't think he is getting enough solids to last him. Any suggestions, comments, hints?? I am so confused!!
