Inconsistent feedings for solids

Hey,

Just wanted to know if it’s bad that I’m not consistent with feedings times and the frequency my son has everyday.
Sometimes he could have breakfast a snack and dinner. Other times brunch and a snack.
Sometimes just dinner,
Sometimes just picking of my plate?

Is it bad that I don’t have a strict routine per say and if not when should i start being consistent?

He is actually going to nursery in January so I’m thinking that’s when it will become a routine as they have specific times then?

I’m not consistent at all with my little boy.
Everyday is different depending on where we are, what we are going and if he is in the mood for solid food.
I’ve had some days where it’s just been milk - no meals or snacks at all.
As long as he is being fed that’s all that’s important for me personally.

thank you, that’s reassuring. I think where I get confused is that no matter how much solids he has, he still has the same amount of milk xx

We’re not overly consistent either. She normally has 3 meals but if it’s a really busy day she might only have 2. She’s not been well this week so she’s hardly had anything - I’ve offered but she’s not interested. At this age they should be getting what they need from their milk so it’s not a major issue I don’t think. You could talk to your HV if you’re worried?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
