In the long run, that's actually better you want to start replacing some of the bottle with solids. And for the first few months, unless your LO starts going crazy for food, it won't impact the amount she drinks. Plus, always remind yourself about the whole "food before 1 is just for fun." For right now, playing and tasting are exactly what your kiddo should be doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-feed-solids-early-on#post-1960319 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 17:08:42 +0000 Mae 1960319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I have lots of feeding questions apparently :)</p> <p>LO is 6.5 mo and right now I find time to feed her once/day most days but thats about it. I feel like there is just no time? And I have no idea how we could move to an every single day type thing or how to start multiple meals/day with our schedule. So here is what our day looks like: </p> <p>6-6:30 wake</p> <p>7-7:30 bottle (she has to wake up a bit before she is interested in eating at all)</p> <p>8-10(/1030 nap</p> <p>1030- solids. But if we have errands to run this is our best chance to go because afternoons are crazy traffic wise so those days she often doesn't get solids</p> <p>11:30 bottle</p> <p>1-3 nap</p> <p>3:30 bottle</p> <p>5-6:30 nap</p> <p>7:30 bed</p> <p>The issues are:<br /> 1) I don't want to feed her with less than an hour before getting a bottle because we have issues with her not drinking enough and I want her to still be hungry</p> <p>2) We can't feed her within an hour or so after getting a bottle because she tends to gag a lot and if she just had a bottle she projectile vomits</p> <p>3) I don't want to feed her too late and risk stomach issues with our already iffy sleep. </p> <p>So if I miss that 10/10:30 time to offer solids because of errands I don't know when else to give her food? I'm guessing when we start a second meal it will be right before her last nap at maybe 4:30 or so, and hopefully not until she's over her gagging issue...? Any better ideas/advice? </p>
