My LO is 20 weeks old and weighs 20lb. Purely breastfed, happy to take the odd bottle. During the last week, he has got increasingly hungry and although I am pumping 'air' after each feed to increase my milk supply, he is having 4oz formula milk after THREE of his feeds.
He has slept through for the last 6 weeks and has just started waking again - although goes back to sleep.
His routine is the standard 4 hour one from the book:
7am Eat then activity
9-11 Sleep
11am Eat then activity
1-3 Sleep
3pm Eat then activity
5-5.45 Sleep
Activity
7pm Eat then Sleep
10:40 Eat (Dream Feed0
My health visitor has advised me to start solids. I fully agree that he is ready so I am not looking for any advise whether or not I should start.
I need to know if I ought to adjust his routine in any way when I introduce solids. I am going to give him a little baby rice at his 11am feed at the weekend when my husband will be around to help.
Is this the right forum or should I ask on the weaning one? Thanks.

Hello!
Sounds like you are on the right track. I would recommend trying the solids one hour after a bf/bottle feed. :D

Thanks. Do you mind if I ask why? Was going to give it straight after his boob feed and attempt it in place of the extra formula milk.

By waiting an hour, it lets them get more hungry so they will be more interested. You could try it right away though too, there's no right or wrong :D
