My lo is 5.5mo and having up to 2 meals/day and loving it.
Poops about 2 times/day now (much thicker than with just milk tho?)
I am giving her 1 teaspn of rice powder mixed with 2 teaspn of veg/ fruit and then I add some boiled water or formula.
She still wants 2 feeds/night.
Should I give her more solid food than this?

I would not advise more food than this as breast milk/formula should be the main source of calories for the first year.

Agree with Rachel also solids does not help them sleep through the night sorry. Do you do a dreamfeed at night?

Yes, I give her a dreamfeed at about 11. This used to be her biggest feed, but would still drink well at 3/4am aswell. She seems to be drinking less and less of her dreamfeed, last night only 3oz and then at 4 she had about 5oz.
Are some babies just little and often types and others just more camel like?
I will ask on formula board if I should drop dreamfeed, perhaps she will take a bigger feed at 2 and go through with that.
Thanks ladies!
