Solely on solids?

ChristyML · April 2013

I just started solids with DS last week, so I know it will be a lonnng while before he is solely on solids, but are any of your LOs solely on solids (except for maybe a bottle before bed)?

DS really likes his solid food. I know that he needs his bottle (of formula, and we also nurse a few times a day) for his nutrients still, but when can I let him eat as much solids as he wants? I know that formula and/or breast milk can be his sole nutrients for up to one year, but what is the earliest it can be?

How much solid food should I be giving him? Until he's done, a few ounces, a few bites?

Thanks in advance!

Babies NEED formula or BM until a year. DD drinks 4 bottles a day. I'm before a year she might cut one out herself. I will always give her a bottle for breakfast, lunch and dinner atleast.

I'd suggest talking to your pedi more or atleast r

I feel like you should talk to your pediatricin about how much breast milk or formula your LO should be drinking a day. They should not be cutting out any at this point. I gave DD one meal a day an hour after she nursed at 6 months. At 7 months I gave her

Also, I would never give my baby or child as much food as they want...l would give them meals, but wouldn't let them just eat whatever, whenever you know?

As PPs have said, babies primarily need the nutrients in breastmilk or formula until they hit 1. My DD nurses 4-5 times a day and eats 2 meals, and she's on the lower end of the scale as far as how often she nurses. The chart from our pedi says at 6 month

DD drinks 4 6oz bottles/day but usually has a little left over in the bottom of the bottle (about the same amount as before we started solids.) She gets 2 meals/day. One about an hour after first bottle and then another about an hour after her

I'm not really sure why it's so hilarious that someone called me an idiot. And used God's name in vain when she has a scripture verse in her siggy....
