I'm just starting to wean LO and I'm struggling to fit a meal in at a similar time each day. LO is very consistent with his milk feeds, he has them generally at 8am, 11am, 1.30pm, 4.30pm and 7.15pm. I initially planned to introduce lunch first of all at 12. This is generally fine if we've been in all morning and LO has had his morning nap, but several mornings a week we go to baby groups where he's awake all morning and he falls asleep on our way home, so he's asleep at 12, then too crabby to eat when he wakes up (he just wants his milk).
I've therefore ended up doing some feeds at lunch times, but on other days I'm doing it at teatime (about 5.30pm). I'm a bit confused about where you're meant to fit meals in inbetween all the milk feeds - can anyone give me any guidance?
I've tried to give him part of his milk then start on his solids, but he just gets too upset that his milk has been taken away.
