It sounds like they are being pushy about it since he's the youngest one in the room. I probably wouldn't send more solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-vs-breastmilk#post-783459 Wed, 15 May 2013 13:30:09 +0000 Mrsbells 783459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my daycare was always asking for more solids but I didnt want my LO to cut out a bottle. You can try adding one more puree and if it makes her drink less of her bottle than go back to just one solid til she is a little older </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-vs-breastmilk#post-783450 Wed, 15 May 2013 13:28:05 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 783450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is nearly 8 months &amp; has been eating solids since around 6 months. We do BLW at home for dinner (but sometimes purees &amp; sometimes nothing at all) and he gets a jar of puree &amp; some "snacks" (crackers, puffs) at daycare. We do only nursing for "breakfast". </p> <p>When he started eating the purees he went from drinking 4 3.5 oz bottles to 3 4 oz bottles. I was a little concerned, because our pediatrician said he will need the same amount of milk.</p> <p>Now daycare wants to add in a 2nd jar of puree during the day. I'm afraid he will drop another bottle if we do that and I'm not sure he needs to eat 3 solid food meals a day (plus snacks!) </p> <p>None of the other babies in his room are still nursing and are all 10-13 months. My husband says he thinks they're rushing our son because they compare him to older babies. He also thinks doing bottles for him is a hassle &amp; they'd rather do solid food. I'm not sure, because I don't know how much solid food he's supposed to be eating - I thought it wasn't necessary at all! </p> <p>What should we do - try the extra solids or tell them we want to do just one solid meal a day? </p>
