  I usually do solids about 1/2 hour after she nurses, sometimes longer. I used to offer her to nurse after solids (to "wash it down") but she never seemed interested. I'm hoping she'll be interested in drinking water with her solids soon.

  I will give a bottle and then an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes later give solids.

  our pedi recommends feeding solids in between bottles. ie because they still need 99% of their calories from formula or BM.

  This is what we do.  I guess my mindset says we're feeding "after" bottles but it's really in between.

  I usually do solids after his morning nap. He nurses to sleep (yup, still) around 9. Then he sleeps for 45 minutes. Then we do some solids. We just started it so we are only doing it once a day for now.

  Mine gets his solids inbetween bottles/ nursing or we at least try to.  Sometimes on weekends, if we are kinda pressed for time, I nurse him and give him solids about 30 mins after.  Like the pps said, I want him to be hungry for milk so that I can continue to produce and he gets the nutrients mostly from milk.  But I have to say nursing is getting harder because he gets so distracted.  He likes to pop off and look around or pop off and smile at me.

  In between bottles, but the bottles are no more spaced out than usual so he's not missing out on any nutrients.

  We're only doing solids once a day right now.  (We started with sweet potato puree maybe three weeks ago.  Fed him in the mornings first to make sure he didn't have a reaction.)
  
  Now I feed him about an ounce of sweet potato puree in the evening around 5:30PM.  He's usually sleepy between 6-6:30pm so I give him a bottle then.  I guess that technically makes it before his bottle, but he's still always hungry for the entire bottle so I don't think it's a problem.
  
  I need to get my sh*t together though and introduce the carrot puree and pear puree I have frozen.  If he started to refuse the bottle then I'd definitely switch everything around to make sure he gets the solids afterward.
