Solid food question

Alright, so we have made it through rice cereal and oatmeal and are thinking it's time to start introducing some actual baby food.  But, here is my question...and, I apologize in advance if it's a dumb one...but...will Katie still get her regular bottles and have food in addition to them?  OR, are we supplementing food for milk? I assume it's in addition to...

 Help!  I feel really dumb right now for some reason.

    You should continue with breastmilk or formula as normal. That should be her main source of food. The solid food is just a supplement. I usually bf and then give the solid 1 hour later.

    For a few weeks you will just be introducing, but eventually she may drop a nursing session in order to have real food.

    Our pedi said that until 1 yr., food is just for practice. They should still be getting as much formula/BM per the age guidelines. I don't remember what they were now, but I know the enfamil/similac websites had it on there. BF is a little different I'm sure. You just don't want to start cutting back from the "real" nutrition of formula/BM.

    And, not dumb at all. I had to call my pedi twice during those months because I was getting confused.
