EBF introducing solids???

I've read a lot of different opinions about how to start solids. I talked with my lactation consultant and she said to always offer solids first.. But I've read that I should offer breast first to maintain supply. Any personal experiences with this would be appreciated. :-)

It's odd to hear that a lactation consultant said solids first. 

My lactation textbook definitely advises towards nursing and offering solids in between nursing. Breastmilk has more calories than most foods, and nursing often will keep your supply up.
