I started lo on baby rice last week (16 weeks) because I felt she needed it as her height has gone from 25% to 75% and her weight was dropping from 75% and she had had some poor weight gains.
Anyway happy to say she gained 10oz this week and the clinic said they were going to suggest I wean her anyway as she's having bottle troubles.
So my instincts were right
Anyhoo,, she's loving her food - we've gone from baby rice though to vegetables and fruits and porridge and rice (baby jars) but I am not sure how much I am meant to give.
Do you do it the same as milk and feed till they dont want anymore? Cos with vegetables I have to make the desician to say ''all gone'' but with fruit she makes the desician.
Most days she has one feed, some days 2, and I have found she generally does want a bottle afterwards so it is giving her an appetite which is great, cos she was losing it.
Also this past week she has been a much happier baby and has been having 2 naps during the day She was getting grouchy before and wouldnt sleep at all once up.
