When I first started solids, it was not a daily thing. We would offer some watery baby cereal (Gerber rice cereal, Gerber oatmeal cereal). She would refuse it or show she wasn't interested. So we didn't push it. Then we'd wait a week or two before trying again. Still not interested. Ok, wait another week or two before trying again. We were in no big rush knowing that she'll let us know what she wants and when she wants it.
We eventually reached a point where it was obvious she was interested in solids, so we offered it to her daily. Once a day, usually near the end of the day between the last two breastfeeds before she went to bed. She breastfed about every 3 hours like clockwork, so we'd offer her solids about 1 1/2 hours before the last breastfeed before bedtime. The idea was to try solids about halfway between breastfeeding, a time when she was neither completelly full nor totally starving. She'd get really cranky if we tried the solids experiment while she's hungry for food. And she wouldn't be interested in trying solids if she was allready full. We gradually (over weeks, not days) increased the "thickness" of her baby cereal.
Once we got comfortable with solids in the evening, we added another solids feeding during the day. So breastfeeding sessions were the same, just inserted solids midday and evening.
The whole idea in the beginning was for her to get acclimated to receiving food off a spoon, and to get used to new textures in her mouth. So her main nourishment was still breastmilk. Solids were just a supplement. We continued to breastfeed until she decided she wanted to self-wean.
