DS has 8 oz bottles every 3 hours throughout the day, sometimes he wants more and has another ounce. I have tried stretching out his feeds as people keep telling me he should be feeding every 4 hours at his age but sometimes I can barely get him to wait 3 hours!
Due to volume of milk and frequency of feeds the HV has suggested I start weaning. I have pureed carrot and apples so far, both of which he seemed to like but I really don't know how much I should be offering him. Is it just after his milk once a day to start with? Or is it better to leave a gap after his milk before giving solids so that he isn't too full?
Also can he have any finger foods? If so what are the best things to give him?
I haven't really got my head round it yet and I thought it'd be another couple of weeks until I'd have to get on with it!
Any advice much appreciated.
