Hi al!! Need help again. My baby girl was ebf till 6 months then I started weaning her. She is now 7 months old and although she is very good with the whole weaning thing,I still feel a bit lost. At the moment I only offer her food at around 4-5 in the afternoon,I started with blw but nothing seemed togo in so im doing a bit of spoonfeeding aswell. I went to see my health visitor and when I told her what we were doing I got the impression she didt think I was giving her enough and she suggested I try her with some readybrek for breakfast. Im struggling because I thought breastmilk was the most important thing until a year old and food was more for experimenting with textures and tastes. After spending alot of time on google Ive found loads of mothers posting about their babies having three meals a day and also that readybrek isnt suitable for a 7 month old because its full of salt. I was thinking of giving her some with some fruit you see,so can I or not? And what do I mix it with? Whole milk? Or her breastmilk? Also whilst googling I noticed people saying their babies ate 2-3 jars a day of baby food whereas my littlen will only have a few spoonfuls of whatever I make her,idont use jars but should she be eating as much as whats in a jar?? She wakes about 3-4 times a night aswell which I dont mind atall but is that okay? It doesnt mean Im starving her does it because shes not getting enough solids?? Oh my god Ive just read that back and its just a ramble....I do appologise...ignore if you like :-)
