Should I start solids?
My son is 5 months, his pediatrician is very strict on the topic of not introducing anything besides breastmilk or formula for the first 6 months. The past month or so I have been struggling to produce enough milk..and I have always been an over producer, but my little man is HUNGRY. I am unable to pump anything anymore unless he gets a bottle. I asked his pedi at his 4 month about not being able to pump but still being able to get him full from the breast.. it's just hard because I'm never able to leave him alone; so she she said to use formula when I am away. My mom says all four of her kids(she breastfed us)..including me..could have never waited 6 months to start at least rice cereal. I'm so torn I don't want to start using formula, but I have for the times I needed to get away for an hour or so (I am a STAHM). I feel that starting solids would help him stay full instead of introducing formula and detrimentally hurting my milk supply..help me mamas!!! What would you do?? I need opinions!
