When to Breastfeed after solids???
« on: April 23, 2006, 03:55:36 am »
DD is 7.5 months.  I had originally been feeding solids before BF and noticed a slight drop in intake, but thought this was normal.  She is down to one night feed but waking two other times, possibly due to hunger.

should I go back to feeding BM before solids or is it okay at this age to stay with solids before BM?  Any help would be great.

Kate how any breastfeeds due you give during the day? If you do 4, do you think she is ready for 3 a day
If it where me I would still bf first then solids, espeicially if her intake has dropped and she is waking at night.

What's hard to tell is if she is waking at night because of hunger.  She's never slept through the night.  I have noticed though that I can give solids before, I just need to space the BF about 30 minutes after, she seems to take enough then. Thanks, I'll try today and see what happens

So, for future reference, have you read anywhere when it is okay to switch to nursing after solids?
