Question

I feel like I read somewhere that you’re supposed to start offering solids first over breastfeeding but I can’t remember what it said. Anyone know when you’re supposed to switch the focus? I know until a year breast milk or formula is still supposed to be most of the nutrients.

Answer

I just follow a loose schedule with the solids and the breastfeeding happens as she wants it to. Like today she went 5 hours without breastfeeding until bedtime but other days she still eats every 2 hours 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I only really offer the breast in the morning, after a nap, and right before bed even then most times she’s not interested. She still does love her middle of the night feed tho. We’re pretty loose with the schedule now since she’s eating solids really well.

Answer

I wouldn’t offer solids before breastfeeding unless your trying to wean. It will reduce your milk supply and really the milk is better for them.

Answer

I exclusively pump, but I still give her a bottle 5 times a day and she gets solids / purées three times a day to supplement. We just make sure she’s getting good foods in her solids so we know she’s trying good things while knowing her primary source of nutrition is still breastmilk.

Answer

Personally, I don’t put the focus on breastfeeding first or after. Usually I don’t offer my breast before nor after. It’s more on demand, and also before naps and night sleep. I didn’t see any problem with solid as well as milk.

Answer

My baby will be 9 months next week and I still offer the breast first. I did it as well with my first until 12 months.
