Otherwise a great suggestion :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-feeding-schedule#post-2269861 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 13:39:49 +0000 MrsSRS 2269861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you switch solids to breakfast instead? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-feeding-schedule#post-2269850 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 13:31:50 +0000 Adira 2269850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: Our nights are the same! We get home, nurse at 5:30, followed by solids at 6:00/6:30, following by more nursing at 7:30. But with naps going to hell, we sometimes skip the solids because he falls asleep during that 5:30 nursing session. I'd rather he get the milk than solids though, so that's why we're keeping it like that for now. Mine is 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-feeding-schedule#post-2269846 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 13:27:57 +0000 LAZB 2269846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: good! She's still skinny, so I'm trying to get her to bulk up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-feeding-schedule#post-2269805 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 13:05:44 +0000 MrsKoala 2269805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: She'll just grow big and strong quicker. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-feeding-schedule#post-2269779 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 12:46:06 +0000 LAZB 2269779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: that's what I was worried about.<br /> I think I'll just stick to a night full of eating lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-feeding-schedule#post-2269701 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 11:54:17 +0000 MrsKoala 2269701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be worried about dropping in supply at that point. If she was around 9 months, I'd say drop it since solids are getting really ramped up at that point but at 6.5 months, I wouldn't. I think it's too risky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-feeding-schedule#post-2269677 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 11:32:51 +0000 catomd00 2269677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't take out nursing personally. We did BLW and I nursed on demand and gave solids in between if she felt like it and followed her lead. Much less stressful that way! I don't know anything about purees though. Your Ped can probably give you good advice on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-feeding-schedule#post-2269534 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 10:10:53 +0000 LAZB 2269534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry, left out that important information! She's 6.5 months. I know soon we will have her do solids once while I'm away and once at night, probably in a week or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-feeding-schedule#post-2269525 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 10:03:29 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2269525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is she? Id say if you really want to be the one to do solids, yeah take out a nursing session. Is she getting them during the day too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-feeding-schedule#post-2269521 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 10:00:48 +0000 LAZB 2269521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that we are consistently feeding solids, I wanted to get some opinions on L's feeding schedule. I'm considering taking out a nursing session, but don't know if it would be ok.<br /> L eats four times during the day, and I get home from work around 6:00-6:30. I have been nursing her as soon as I get home, feeding her solids around 7:30, giving her a bath, and then nursing her before bed around 8:30. So that's two nursing sessions and solids all within two hours.<br /> Last night I didn't nurse her when I got home, just did solids, added in play time before bath time, and then nursed her before bed. It was a much more relaxing experience (she nurses for 30 min or so, so it takes up all of our time when I'm home!).<br /> I know she should still get most calories from milk, so I hate taking out a session, but I'm hoping the two sessions will kind of be combined? My boobs definitely have less milk at those sessions, so I am hoping my supply doesn't drop. </p>
