Solids after milk for Pm feed?

[courtney3]

Hi, I have another post simular to this one, but started another one as it is a bit different -sorry
So my lo is 5 and a half months and has been on solids since 4 and a half months - due to not eating fodd and dr recommendations.
her easy is
E 7.00
Solids - 800
S 9 till 100
E 11 - not taking much only has 150mls at each feed, prob only takes 60 mls - but thid may be due to teething as someone mentioned in my other post, will wait for a few weeks and see what happens
solids - 12
S 1 till 3
E 3 - not taking much of this either
S 4.30 till 5.15
5.15 solids
6.30 bottle and bed at 7 for the night, has been sleeping through since starting solids.

My concern is after having solids at 5.15, she is not drinking much of her bottle at 6.30, maybe 30mls - just doesnt seem hungry, have tried cutting solids down but this hasnt helped. I have read that most of you give solids and then a milk feed before bed - but was wondering is it possible to give a milk feed and then solids 30min before bed? as she can only stay awake for 1 hr 45 min before bed it doesnt give her enough time to get hungry from the last solid feed.
Thanks Courtney

At this age I would be wary of giving solids so close to bedtime to be honest. Can you have a chat with your HV about it? Milk is still the most important form of nutrition and calorie intake at this point so I would perhaps think about cutting out dinner altogether. I cant really comment though given that your LO was advised to go on to solids by your GP.

Perhaps try giving her solids at two meals at the moment until she is able to stay awake for a bit longer. I agree with the previous reply that it is perhaps unwise to give solids that close to bedtime......worth a try! And once she is staying up a bit longer re-introduce food after afternoon nap.
