Breastmilk & Solids

Hey Ladies!

When your LO was 5-7 months old, and had started solids, how much food were you feeding them each day? (not including rice cereal/oatmeal) Once or twice a day, ounces, etc. Also, did you find you were nursing less or just as much? 

Thanks :)

    DS refused all solids until 7.5 months old but once he started cereal we did once a day with 1 to 1.5 oz of breastmilk, mixed to the right consistency. When we started purees we did one oz at a time for quite a while. Then we added a second 'meal' of one oz. We didn't up his servings to 2 oz until earlier this month.Just within the last week we've started doing a third 'meal'.  And we nursed the same amount until teething and an ear infection ruined his appetite.

    Nursing just as much. Well he often will wake 1 time per night but not sure if that's due to getting older or solids.

    If he's home with me, he usually gets 1 oz fruit mixed with oatmeal for brunch between nursing. At night/ after daycare he gets 2 oz of a fruit or vege. I make his food so I do 2 ice cubes at night which is roughly 2 oz.

    Just started solids on Christmas.  I nurse her about 30 min before hand.  We are doing baby led solids so how much she eats (minuscule at this point) is up to her. Oh and 1 meal a day.

    We started solids at about four and a half months with about one ounce of fruits or veggies on most days (some days we just didn't get to it because of schedule).  After a few weeks I started in a more consistent. schedule ofnone solid meal of oatmeal cereal or pur?es in the morning.    Now she's getting two meals a day:  mid morning she gets oatmeal with an ounce of fruit.  When we eat dinner she gets two ounces of veggies.   Before we started solids she was nursing 7-9 times a day.  She's now nursing 6-8.
