Hello mommies :)
I have read many postings and am not certain how to start introducing solids to our baby boy... In the book (Secrets of the BW for Toddlers), the six-week starter plan suggests to feed when baby wakes, then 2 hours later, introduce teaspoons of pears (for example), then breast or bottle at 11am, 1pm, 4pm and 8 pm (this plan is for the first week). Also, after each feeding, finish with breast or bottle.
From what I read on many of your posts, many of you seem to breastfeed / bottle at 7, 11 am, 3pm and again at 7pm (with or without dreamfeeding at 10-11pm) and giving solids around 30 minutes to 1 hour after each feed/bottle where as Mrs. Hogg suggests to give solids around 2 hours after the milk and then, finish with breast or bottle.
Where do I start? I am confused... :-\

I think most parents here feed the bottle/milk at regular time and then 1h later give solids. I started off with just one solid meal/day and gradually worked up to 3 meals (after milk) by 8/8.5 months.
HTH a bit--have fun with it and let him have fun with it, too :)

I would usually offer milk first then solids about 1hr later too. :)

I chose the BLW method rather than follow the BW schedule of solids. I give solids about one hour after milk. I quickly found that despite having had his milk feed at the regular time he also wanted another milk feed directly after solids (about half or a third his usual amount). I wasn't expecting it at first and it caught me on the hop not totally sure what he wanted. Quickly worked it out though.
