Fitting solids into EASY
« on: August 05, 2010, 20:58:33 pm »
My LO is nearly 7 months and I introduced solids about 3 weeks ago. At the moment, I am feeding breakfast and dinner and am thinking about introducing lunch soon. However, I am really confused about how to fit it into EASY. I feed solids an hour/ hour and half after the milk feeds but my LO doesnt seem hungry enough. She takes about a few spoons and then loses interest. I can't push the solid feed too much further after milk since it will go into nap time.When I have asked other mums, suggestions have been to feed milk before nap and solids after naps but this goes against EASY so I'm not keen. Any suggestions?
Our EASY looks like this:

6:30 - wake
7:00 - BF
8:00 - breakfast

9 - 10:30 - nap
10:30/11 - formula

1pm – 2:30 – nap
2:30 – formula

5:00 – catnap (hit and miss)

5:30 – solids
7:30 – BF and bed

10:45 - DF

TBH, your routine looks good to me!  Remember that before age 1, solids are really about fun and learning new tastes and textures - milk (either breast or formula) should be the primary source of nutrition until age 1.  If she's taking a few spoonfuls that's fine :)  As she gets older solids will take on a more 'leading' role and your routine will adjust to compensate.  Her A times will extend, and you'll be able to space out the time between milk and solids, and her solids intake will naturally go up :)
