HI Hatty, I breastfeed and give Boomer bits to eat. What I generally try to do is seperate the two things, she is nearly 7 1/2 mths and gets 4-5 feeds a day ( i really don't see this changing any time soon ). She wakes usually abont 6-7 and I feed her, we amaybe have a sleep and then breakfast togther. Boomer will normally have a nap sometime in the morning and I tend to feed her myself when she wakes - this is often 12- 12.30, then followed by lunch but this can be a lot later i.e. almost 2.00. Boomer may have 1-2 feeds before tea time and then a feed before bed. Basically I'm really just feeding her as she wants and assuming that the solid/milk ratio will gradually balance out. Initally I was bamboozeled by different charts and feeding times etc but now I'm trying to just calm down and take it as it comes - I think that the main thing is not to expect it to happen over night . I have been doing this since Boomer was a bit before 6 mths and I see a gradual progession, but I don't see any change in milk habits yet. From what I've read it may be 10 1/2 - 11 mths untill there is. Sorry about the rambling - I'll repost when I think of more.
