LO is around 6.5 months and we've been doing solids once per day for a couple of weeks. He has zero interest in finger foods so far - I offer a bit at every meal and he just makes a face and spits them out - but *loves* purees of fruits and veggies.

Daycare says LO has a growing appetite and is often no longer satisfied with his 3 5 oz bottles. They recommended sending solids with him for lunch, as he also gets envious sometimes when he sees the other babies eating (he's the youngest in his class and the only one not eating solids for lunch). I agree that he would probably enjoy solids more than extra milk in his bottles. But when I googled there's so much stuff of the "breast is best" flavor, warning against replacing milk with solids too quickly. I'm just curious what others have done in practice. Follow the baby's lead and give them solids whenever/to the extent they're interested, or take a more gradual approach?
