when was your lo on 3 meals/day

yes, my HV told me to 'get on with it' a month ago!!

WHA!?! I don't understand that.. as far as i can work out the recommendation either say from 6 months, or between 4-6 months WHEN YOUR BABY IS READY!!! I personally was keen to wait till 6 months because i felt that was best for us- but also Hamish was not interested until around 2 weeks ago! When he started grabbing at glasses of water and then a  week later at a banana. when i started him on solids.... For us just shy of 6 months!

Interesting...

oh I am considered very strange round here for not having her on 3 meals. Seriously! One hv told me when M was 4 months that she was probably ready.

Yes Becky I was as well!!!  I just learned to smile and nod and tell people what they wanted to hear or learn to answer in a noncommital way.  How are solids going? Great,  she loves them! How many times a day do you give them to her? As many times as I can! etc etc!!!

I only saw my HV once - she told me to CIO at about 3 months old - never went back again - found this forum instead!

she told me to CIO at about 3 months old -

!!!!! Crazy!! Even ferber says not till later i'm pretty sure!!!

yes sounds very familiar! I took M to be weighed when she was about 6 weeks old and I said that she was a bit unsettled and the HV told me it was because I was always holding her!!?? I needed to do CC at which point I nearly choked and just said umm, don't think so and then she tried to back track and it was actually quite funny!

Almost as funny as when H was little and not napping and I knew nothing about BW. The HV told me to lie him on my chest and he would soon drop off!!! Has she met my son! That would be like wrestling a bear just to keep him there.

LOL Mashi - yes I just do that now. Nod and agree.
