Hoping I can word this right without sounding confusing.
My LO is 6 months old and we just started solids about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I've read and been told, not to offer solids until 1 hour after BF. The problem I'm having is timing. Currently my LO is waking once through the night...and really it would be considered a morning feed. He wakes around 4:30-5am and then usually goes back down....but then he's up at say 6:30am. Now if I were to wait 4 hours to BF again, it would fall right at the beginning of his nap.....and you're supposed to give the boob before solids, so I don't want to offer him solids first when we get up. If I offer boob again at 3 hours...then there isn't enough time to offer solids before his nap (making sure I give enough time to digest a little). I haven't been able to offer solids during the morning now and I'm BF closer together just so I can fit it in during our second A time (short napper here). Not really sure how to handle this.
Should we be cutting out that 4 - 5am feed? Today he didn't wake until 5:40am....this was too early to start the day, but really messed things up for the day. I feel like if he could just wait another 30 - 45 min, then we could just get up for the day.
Will he eventually start to push that feed out so that he's just waking up when it's time to start the day? I don't really feel like I couldn't feed him when he wakes between 4 - 5:30am. He would never go back to sleep without it at that WU.
Does this make any sense?
