Do u always give bottle first thing on morning?

[StellaBella24]

My baby is 7 and half months old and feeding well in solids.

I have been giving her a bottle when she first gets up in the morning around 7:30/8:00 ish. Then breakfast (Weetabix or porridge) an hour later.

However some people i know skip the morning bottle ans go straight to breakfast. Not sure if there is a better way round to do it? I have tried skipping first bottle a few times and baby doesnt seem bothered by that at all.

What do you guys do?

I am due back at work in 3 weeks and i know my mum will want exact instructions on this type of thing so trying to decide what to tell her

I would offer the bottle simply because the milk is the more important of the two at the moment. If lo is then too full to eat breakfast it doesnt really matter but if you give breakfast and then find lo starts dropping that bottle then it does matter. Ideally you dont want to be droppping bottles for a few more weeks yet.

Yes, same as the above. They still need milk more than solids at this age, so I'd always offer it. Also, it's just a great way to get in more fluids, which are important, especially if your baby isn't drinking much water yet. My daughter is 1 and I still give her milk (cow's milk) before breakfast.

We did (and still do) the opposite. DD wakes up at 7:30ish and has breakfast an hour later or so. She gets her morning bottle when she goes for her nap around 10:30.

I always give bottle first because there's no way I could get up and have something to eat before having a drink (cup of tea for me). I did try giving her breakfast first a few times back when she was spoon fed but she just retched on it.
