We mixed BM and WCM the first few times but she didn't care really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transition-to-solids#post-2480458 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:59:38 +0000 snowjewelz 2480458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 weeks to 6 months - introduced basic puree<br /> 6 months - moved onto baby led weaning<br /> By 7 months - eat what we at<br /> By 8-8.5 months - perfected pincer grasp<br /> Right now at 15 mo - Started to self feed w/ utensil </p> <p>WCM - Started introducing a few oz during the day after she turned 11 months. Cold turkey changed over after she was 12 months along with changing from bottles to straw cups. Night time/last bottle was the last to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transition-to-solids#post-2480446 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:49:33 +0000 youboots 2480446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T had her first purees at 5.5 mo. We slowly introduced table food. She will be a year tomorrow. She's still not eating what we eat. I still only introduce one new ingredient a day. I give her cottage cheese, shredded cheese, black beans almost daily. And whatever else is around. She still eats pouches as needed. Per my ped I gave her WCM at 10.5 mo 4 oz a day. Now 15 oz a day. It's going well for us.</p> <p>ETA<br /> I feed her a big meal after she wakes up and after nap. Snacks/purees in between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transition-to-solids#post-2480442 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:47:59 +0000 MrsBrewer 2480442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has been eating all 3 meals with us since she was 7 months, although she's a big eater! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transition-to-solids#post-2480434 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:44:31 +0000 Torchwood 2480434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did your transition from bottle to solids and WCM look like? I nannied for a kid from 6 weeks to 18mo, so I've done this before, but I don't remember at all! It's feeling really intimidating. </p> <p>Right now she's 8mo and we give her some kind of solids once a day. The next step would be to increase the number of times per day, I assume. But how did you actually switch? Get them up to a lot of solids by a year, then start dropping bottles? How much WCM did you offer, and when? How often did your LO eat once they first got off bottles? 3 meals plus snacks? More? Less? I'm sure I can talk to the ped about it, but I'm trying to think it through now. Any good resources you'd recommend for planning it all? Thanks! </p>
