do solids have to be at the same time every day?

[stagemanager2]

Hey just started ds on solids about two weeks ago and he seems to love them! 

The problem is sometimes he takes so long eating his milk that we don't have time for solids during his first EASY cycle... so we try to do it during the second cycle.... well there have been one or two days where he won't get solids until his 3rd EASY cycle....

Are these inconsistencies something that might be messing with his routine?  (bc it's gotten all mucked up since inlaws have been here.... can't seem to get him back)

this is what our perfect day looks like:
E 7am
Solids 8am
S 8:45am

E 10:45am
S 12:30pm

E 2:30pm
S 4:15pm

E 6pm
S 7 or 7:30pm

What Stacy said! That was easy lol!

Really, he doesn't need solids anyway at his age, so I wouldn't worry about them. How many meals are you trying to slot in to your day? If he is taking so long to drink his milk, then I wouldn't think he is all that hungry for everything anyway.

I wonder about that myself... some days I feel like I should just wait until he screams for his food.  He gets histarical but he eats quickly... but is there such a thing as a 5hr easy??? It seems he could go almost 6hrs without food!

We are only going to be giving solids once a day until Stan is 6mo.  I make sure he has nothing more then a tablespoon of solids if any get into his mouth.  He does love playing with them and squishing them with his fingers... blw purees, I highly suggest it as it has made that meal fun for us all!  It really is a great time of the day! lol

I would just make sure you aren't feeding solids too late in the day especially if you are introducing something new so that if there is an allergic reaction you catch it before he goes to sleep.  HTH
