Re: Re: Re: Eating together
by Hatty
Hi - I am trying to work out this one! I have a 6 month old who is getting onto BLW and a 2 year old, and although we do eat together sometimes it is dificult with timing. Especially since my 2 year old eats his lunch in about 5 minutes and a baby just beginning isn't the speediest! I wanted also to ask: we have a stokke trip trapp chair for our son which has always meant he could eat at table with us, but presumably for my daughter I should be buying some other kind of chair with a tray, as that seems to be a prerequisite for BLW? I can't really feed her on my lap as she just grabs all my food and smears it all over me, and although she sits up straight in her baby seat it isn't really safe. Plus it has no tray. What do you recommend? She can almost sit but would need a bit of propping with pillows I think. Also, I know one is technically bf on demand, but actually we had got into a schedule of about 7.30, 11.30, 2.30 and 6: that is about when she wants it anyway - how does one structure the milk feeds with the solids? I gave her one boob at lunch before her solids and then the other later, which worked well (except for rampaging toddler) - is this ok? I can't find much advice on how to structure it so that eventually the amount of milk reduces and the solids increase. She drinks milk surprisingly efficiently from a cup too. ANy advice VERY welcome! xHatty
