Babies: 3 - 6 Months

BabyWise Babies - Merge Question

We have been following the BabyWise method from the start.  Our daughter will be 15 weeks on Saturday and is a perfectly healthy little girl.  At her 2 month checkup she was just over 11 lbs (57th percentile) and 24 inches long (91st percentile) so she is growing just fine.

We currently have 6 feed/wake/sleep cycles each day with the 1st one starting at 7 am and the last one occuring between 8:30 & 9 pm.  She sleeps 10 hrs each night and then naps for 1 hr 15 mins to 1 hr 30 mins during each of her 5 naps.

The next BabyWise merge is 16-24 weeks where you drop the mid-morning feeding and reduce to 5 cycles.  With this you are down from 5 naps to 2 or 3 per day.  The book also says that this may coincide with when you introduce solid foods.  Well, at 16 weeks our daughter will be a week or two from 4 months and I know I should wait until at least 4-6 months to start introducing solids. 

Is anyone else following the BabyWise method, and if so, when did you make the merge from 6 cycles to 5 cycles and when did you introduce solids?
