Which way worked for you?

Just wondering, did you find offering solids alongside a bottle worked best when you first started weaning, or did it work better to add a solid meal at a different time?
Did the solids make your LO go a bit longer between feeds, and if so, when?
I hope it will with May, she is feeding every 2 hours on hungry baby milk through the day now - its crazy!

At first we offered milk with solids and now he has his solids without milk

tom normally goes pretty well between feeds anyway so didnt really change, he does sleep alot better though.

Hayden and Casen were both going around 4hrs between feeds so I would try solids at about 3hrs, when they would be a bit hungry but not starving so they wouldn't get frustrated. I never gave a bottle right after solids though it seemed like all of my friends did, they were full after solids, we gave water sippy with it if they needed a drink

i give my son bottle wen he wakes in mrn then leave him hr or 2 then he has brekkie. then he has dinner first with bottle bout 2-3 hrs after then a bedtime 6oz bottle. this works well for him, n he sleeps alot better now on solids, but has cut dwn alot on milk the first 2 bottle during day r 4oz. he use to have both at same time n go 6 hrs or longer btween feeds but he gets full n too me looks uncomfortable n falls sleep straight after so i dont let him anymore. eyes bigger than his belly haha xx

I found it better for Lexie to have them at a different time to her bottle. I give her breakfast about an hour and a half after her first bottle and then tea is about 6.30 (2 hours after a bottle) and justbefore bath time!!! xx
