I'm Unpopular Opinioning myself- LO's first food PIP

I previously have been very 'wait til 6 months before starting solids' but LO has been BFing 10xin12 hours, or 13x in 15 hours- he never seems to get off me and it was driving me crazy. I was feeling very depressed and stuck on my couch.His weight gain and health have been okay (he did have a month where he didn't gain but has made up for it)

I talked to the lactation consultant (who is also the public health nurse)  today and told her he has been eating like this for 6 weeks now and I just can't do it. I told her I feel engorged after 2 hours the odd time he waits that long or we are apart- so we decided supply wasn't really the issue.  I told her I was considering trying formula after BFing or starting solids early and she said she would rather see me giving him a little baby food them formula (which is what I was leaning towards but I was shocked she agreed).

Without further adieu, Carrotface:
