Solids = more sleep?

Question

My son is 4 months and we haven’t started solids yet. I’m probably going to do BLW at 6 months, or whenever he seems like he’s ready by grabbing at our food. I’m just curious, do babies generally sleep longer/better after they start solids?

Answer

Mine didn't. Baby's stomachs aren't very big and they're growing very rapidly, so it's pretty normal for them to need to eat constantly/wake to nurse or have a bottle. My son eats great through the day and still doesn't sleep through the night at 16 months.

Answer

no, sometimes she actually sleeps worse if the food gives her gas

Answer

It didn't work for us with 2 of our kids, with my 3rd it did only because she had severe reflux so the solids relaxed her acid.

Answer

Mine actually has slept worse since solids 🤷🏼

Answer

no

Answer

I did blw with my son and if you do it correctly then it def helped with my son. He never slept through the night till after 6 mo. But he would wake up early (6:30) on the weekends and i would just give him his morning bottle and change his diaper and he would fall back to sleep for another 2 hours.

Answer

Mine did!! Got a good two to three hours more per night 🙌🏼 I started with veggie and fruit purées though at 4 months, then onto bite size things at 6.

Answer

some do some don't. both of mine starting sleeping solid through the night at 6 weeks and 8 weeks, well before starting solids. one of my sister's starting sleeping better after starting at 4 months. the other, not so much, lol. and I'm sorry, but what is BLW?
