food before milk at 9 months?
« on: March 02, 2012, 12:42:46 pm »
Not sure if this is a BF or FSF thread! My guy is 9 months now- should i start swapping the solid foods and milk feeds- as in offer morning solids as breakfast and then milk as morning tea?

I believe the recommendation is to keep milk first until a year -- primary source of nutrition and all that -- much more important for our LOs to get that than solids right now.  :)

I'm working on a similar transition (DD is 8 months.)  Fiver and Charlibob, how did those Eat times work around naps?

Ours go:

BF: 7am
Solids: 8:30 (or so..)
S: 10:30
BF: 12:30 (on waking)
Solids: 1:30 (or so)
S: 3:00 (or so)
BF: 4:30
Solids: 5:30
BF: 7pm
Bed:7pm

We are looking to drop the 4.30 feed in the next few weeks.

Amayzie,
Hmm... looks pretty similar to our EASY, but I like the way you spaced the feeds.  I notice he has 5.5 hours in between the first two BFs.  Is that typical at this age?  I'm always so scared to space them too far apart in fear that she'll wake early from her nap due to hunger.  I'm usually behind the times though as far as her getting older and ready for stuff like that!  BTW, how do you know when it's time to drop a feed?  And how do you go about doing it?  Do you change the other feeds around when you drop one feed?  I keep wondering if my DD's afternoon BF is too close to the bedtime one causing her to not eat as well before bed sometimes.  Now that her awake times are getting so long (the first two 3 hrs, 15 min), I'm struggling to space the feeds right!  Thanks for your help! :)

My guy has always been fine with a long gap between the first 2 feeds- sort of bunches them up for the rest of the day. I get the feeling my guy needs to drop the feed as he's not desperate for the 4.30 or so feed- and often if he has that AND lunch- he refuses the BT feed. I'd prefer to keep BT and drop the others. Are you on 2 naps at the moment with your LO? I basically only introduced lunch to my guy in the last few weeks too...

Yes, we are on two naps.  Okay, so maybe I should just wait until she starts to seem uninterested in one of her feeds?  She still takes a BT feed, she just gets frustrated sometimes I think because it is coming so fast and she's not that hungry... :( And I worry that she may not be taking a full feed before bed, which concerns me because we are soon going to cut out a night feed (she still has two) and I want to make sure she is filling up before bed!
