We're getting on so well!

[Serene123]

I am so glad I waited untill Caitlyn was 110% ready for weaning. She is loving her food and knows when to stop. Sometimes she will eat 1/2 a jar, sometimes less, sometimes a little more, but she loves it! She will try everything, the only thing she won't eat is baby rice. Blergh, I wouldn't either!

How is everyone else getting on?

She has 3 meals a day now, she doesn't eat much for breakfast, half a jar for lunch and the other half for dinner. No juice because I want her to get enough milk. I offer her 4 bottles a day, one at each meal and one before bed. She is breast fed though and won't take much from the bottle.

Anyway, I'm so proud of her! Just having a problem with stains.

Aww glad she's enjoying it! Grace usually has half a jar or more. She's only on 2 meals a day at the minute but going to increase it to 3 soon. And she still has 3 7oz bottles as well

Just wanted to say Toria, I was going to start weaning Chloe a few weeks ago but read one of your posts and realised I would be doing it because I thought I should. I didnt do it and she still just has milk and the occasional bit of a rusk, she still doesnt seem interested in food or unsettled so I'm waiting.

This post is encouraging that I seem to be doing the right thing for Chloe

She had rusks before and I waited untill she was old enough to handle food.

It's fab that she is doing so well, but i do feel your edited bit is a bit harsh
people only pass on opinions because they want to help
x

 

[Serene123]

The comment wasn't to help though, we're well established with weaning, it was just to dig

 

[Jo]

I'm not sure which comment you mean as i can't really see anything out of order, but people read stuff other ways i understand that

It just made me feel a bit Eek as though no opinions were wanted so no one would feel like they could comment
If you get what i mean

But it is really great that she is doing so well with it

 

[Serene123]

I didn't really post for comments on what I'm doing, just wondered how everyone else was getting on. I'll change it though.

 

[Always&4ever]

Its good to see that your both happy hun

Thanks Toria, I agree with Amy, your post is really reassuring (sp), Erin is 4 months and I was thinking of weaning her early because I go back to work when she is 5 and half months old and thought it would be easier for me to wean her than the child minder. However she is really happy taking 5 6oz bottles a day, her weight is increasing nicely and she sleeps through the night for 11 hours without a feed. I think I will do what you have done and leave her until she is completely ready. Thank you.
