at this age I think that they should get most of their calories/nutrition from bm so that should be given BEFORE solids...the solids being a supplement to the bm. 

my ds is 4 1/2 months and I am thinking of starting solids (pear) now.  after sleeping trhough the night for more than a month he is waking a 2am starving!  the only thing I can think is that he needs MORE FOOD. 

any thoughts?  I didn't start my dd on solids until she was almost 6months.  is this too early?

Apryl--it could be the 4 month growth spurt.  Keep an eye on it, and if he's eating a full meal at 2 am AND first thing in the morning, and it starts to taper off after 3-5 days, I'd say that's what it is.  Unless, of course, he's already gone through it.

Apryl...My DS is 4.5 months and started waking early in the morning and one night recently drank almost 400 mls of milk before bed!  He wasn't sleeping through but was going til 4/5am to quickly feed then back til around 6.30am/7am then it seemed he was getting hungrier earlier in the night.  I have started him on solids and it has made a difference.  He is still feeding at 4.30am but just one breast now (and tbh I think he will quickly stop this or I will have to encourage him to stop it soon) then back to sleep til almost 7am...  And he is LOVING the food!!!  My DD didn't start solids til 6 months either but my son is very hungry, strong and already trying to crawl so burning up a lot more energy than DD was at this age...

Hi Apryl, I was planning to start my ds on solids @ 6 months, but @ abt 4.5 months he went crazy hungry & it wasn't a growth burst, the poor thing waswaking up from naps starving, so we started solids, we still do have NWs though, but not due to hunger.

Good luck..!
