Plunket say now to start solids first at 8 months. Maybe they recommended 9 months in the past. Remember you don't have to do what they say, just take it as a guide.]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 20:14:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31280&PID=923266&title=solids-before-milk#923266 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31280&PID=923206&title=solids-before-milk#923206 Author: Kazzle

who knows whats what when it comes to plunket they are always changing their minds.

I was told jsut the other day to start Cory on solids first, before his milk, but we have only just managed to get him onto 4 bottles of 150mls a day....and hes having 3 solids as well]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 19:32:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31280&PID=923206&title=solids-before-milk#923206 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31280&PID=922742&title=solids-before-milk#922742 Author: Bizzy

i always waited at least an hour... but i thought before 9 months it was milk before solids (as per plunket )]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:19:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31280&PID=922742&title=solids-before-milk#922742 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31280&PID=922719&title=solids-before-milk#922719 Author: Mrs_B

Oops sorry forgot I had started this!

Bizzy - I was going by plunket guidelines of within the hour eg Lunch at 11.15 and BF about 12pm.

Melnel - He drinks heaps of water, probably easily 300mls a day. Don't official offer snacks but he does have bits and pieces of whatever I'm eating throughout the day.

He is still feeding twice overnight Usually around midnight and 5.30am so doesn't want BF first thing when he gets up around 7am anyway. Maybe that's our problem, he's drinking too much at night time??]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:07:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31280&PID=922719&title=solids-before-milk#922719 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31280&PID=919412&title=solids-before-milk#919412 Author: Jam08

Hi

My son is 9 months and we have made the transition to solids first. It was a bit strange at first but now it's fine. It can be hard when breast feeding not knowing how much your baby is drinking but I never really worry as I trust he knows how much he wants.

I always bf him first in the mornings as I love feeding him in bed. Usually he wakes just before DH goes to work so I just stay in bed and DH brings him in to me. We usually cuddle/play in bed for a while before getting up. I can't imagine I be changing this until he weans.

I don't offer breakfast for at least an hour after he first wakes up, and similarily I don't offer bf for at least an hour after his lunch and dinner. LIke a previous poster said this is usally just before a nap and just before bed. I offer water throughout the day but he isn't really that interested.

Hope this helps and if I were you I'd just go with the flow and let Corban work it out. I'm sure he'll have more if he's hungry/thirsty.]]> Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:16:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31280&PID=919412&title=solids-before-milk#919412 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31280&PID=919225&title=solids-before-milk#919225 Author: mummyofprinces

Jake has boob first thing in the morning, before naps and before bed.... and sometimes overnight... the before naps feeds are not very big at all, more of a drink really.

Are you offering snacks and water?]]> Sun, 31 Jan 2010 20:15:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31280&PID=919225&title=solids-before-milk#919225 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31280&PID=919039&title=solids-before-milk#919039 Author: Bizzy

So we have just made the switch to solids before milk and am wondering if anyone else noticed a huge reduction in the amount of milk drunk?

I'm still BF'ing so it is of course impossible to measure but DS use to drain both sides every feed (4 feeds a day plus 1x overnight) and now I'm struggling to get him to take more than a couple of minutes off one side but his solid intake has not increased greatly since the switch??

Babies are so confusing! Just when you think you have things sorted they go and change it on you!
