But the main thing is I think as long as LO is nursing well you should be fine! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-transitioned-to-3-solid-meals-a-day#post-708456 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:12:10 +0000 erwoo 708456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say around 10 months for us. I do both - spoon feed and BLW. I'll feed him his main meal and then give him fruit to eat on his own afterwards. For me, it's a good combo b/c it's quick yet he gets to eat on his own which gives me some time to do things as well or more like tend to his brother who is a really messy eater. LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-transitioned-to-3-solid-meals-a-day#post-708396 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:59:01 +0000 sarac 708396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 months old, I noticed that she would get pissy around lunch. Started offering her lunch, problem solved. So we went to it very early - which isn't what most children need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-transitioned-to-3-solid-meals-a-day#post-708148 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:56:47 +0000 sumer08 708148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just recently started 3 meals/day last week (LO is 7.5 months old). He's been on 2 meals/day since 6 months (he started solids at 5 months). We started with purees and have been slowly adding finger foods into the mix as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-transitioned-to-3-solid-meals-a-day#post-708137 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:54:20 +0000 Mrsbells 708137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 11.75 months old. She does have lots of snacks throughout the day, I dont know if I would consider them as 3 meals since she doesnt eat much at a sitting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-transitioned-to-3-solid-meals-a-day#post-708132 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:53:01 +0000 littlek 708132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are transitioning LO to 3 meals a day now. He's 10.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-transitioned-to-3-solid-meals-a-day#post-708054 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:27:10 +0000 autumnlove 708054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was around 11 months when she wanted 3 solid meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-transitioned-to-3-solid-meals-a-day#post-708051 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:26:22 +0000 mamimami 708051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started by offering solids three meals/day, right off the bat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-transitioned-to-3-solid-meals-a-day#post-708033 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:21:32 +0000 cranberryapple 708033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 8.5 months old, and I'm wondering if I should just let him try his solids for 3 meals a day. We've done two meals a day for two weeks, but they have varied. I did baby-led-weaning at first but I got impatient, so I started also spoon-feeding him, which he was very receptive to. Now, I think I notice that when I spoon-feed him, he has dropped from two night feedings to one, and on days that I let him try to eat on his own, he wakes up for two feedings. This leads to me believe he needs the extra help. I was perhaps thinking of dedicating one meal where he could do it all by himself, and then two meals where I can do a combination of BLW and spoon-feeding. He is still nursing the same amount though. Just wondering when you introduced your LO to three meals of solids per day. </p>
