Weaning

We’ve started in a way, if I’ve got toast she’ll have some and today had a chip tomorrow we’re going out so I’ll probs give her st off my plate to suck on but we’re not sitting down at regular times and tracking what’s she’s tried etc as she’s only now 5 months. The advice is to carry on as normal with botttles / feeds and offer solids about 45 / 1 hoir after the bottle as that’s their main source of nutrients. Whilst in the early stages your baby won’t actually swallow anything (if doing blw) but licking and sucking food still classes as them tasting and clears allergens as being tested even though it’s not entered their bellies fully

We've been giving our LO baby rice/porridge (mixed with her milk) for breakfast and were advised to continue to give her the same amount of milk as usual

I have weaned my son he is coming up 6 months. So he has breakfast which is porridge or rusk then mid morning he has a feed ( breast) then he has lunch which Is something I've blended up or an organic jar ( hipp are good) then he has a feed again at around 3. Then he has food around 5.30 which is usually something like avocado and banana mash.then has a feed before bed around 9. If he wakes In the night he will also have feed.
At the start of weaning I was just giving him baby rice once a day then gradually introduced fruit and veg purees. Yesterday he had very soft scrambled egg which he loved, I'm now starting to give him thicker purees slightly lumpy but soft textures.

Also cool boiled water is good 👍

Organix melty snacks are good for finger foods too.
Highly recommend the tommee tippee steamer and blender.

Mine is a premie as well. He’s 7 months now. I give him oatmeal at breakfast and whatever I’m having for dinner. I offer him milk as I did before but he doesn’t drink as much. He’ll have 2oz at each feed every 2 hrs but then at night he wakes up every 2 hrs and has at least 5oz each time. So I know he’s getting his nutrients albeit at night.

Thank you everyone 😊
