Xander wasn't really into solids until around 7 months. And he wasn't consistently eating 1 meal a day until 8 months. And then at 9 months was when he was consistently eating 2 meals. And we just started doing 3 meals last week at 9.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-transition-to-more-solids#post-1282648 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 15:00:45 +0000 NurseMommy 1282648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: am I correct that Xander didn't really start getting into solids until a bit later though? I seem to remember someone saying that, but not sure if it was you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-transition-to-more-solids#post-1282647 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 14:59:09 +0000 NurseMommy 1282647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbookworm: that's exactly the kind of info I was looking for, thanks! At our six month appointment our doc was wanting her to start eating 4x/day and we had just started once, so I was like, ummmmmm, no! </p> <p>@Greentea: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-transition-to-more-solids#post-1282646 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 14:57:59 +0000 Adira 1282646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We JUST started doing a third meal at 9.5 months! No snacks yet. He didn't really seem like he needed it, but he did seem like he was getting hungrier earlier than normal in the morning, so we added breakfast (breakfast was the last meal we added). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-transition-to-more-solids#post-1282640 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 14:55:35 +0000 Greentea 1282640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NurseMommy: your daughter is so cute! LO is 6 months and we haven't started solids... just commenting to follow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-transition-to-more-solids#post-1282621 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 14:32:32 +0000 immabeetoo 1282621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did once he seemed hungry for food a third time! He started getting cranky, we added a meal, and he was happy. We didn't change any nursing until he was 12m, when we droppd to 3x a day and replaced that session with a snack. Planning on adding another snack and dropping the other day session next month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-transition-to-more-solids#post-1282617 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 14:29:00 +0000 mrsbookworm 1282617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started doing a 3rd meal at about 7 months. I introduced it and then just made sure it didn't affect how much he nursed. The lactation consultant at my baby group said at this age they should be nursing 5-7 times a day and you can keep adding solids as long as they don't drop below 5 nursing sessions. Hope this helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-transition-to-more-solids#post-1282609 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 14:25:24 +0000 NurseMommy 1282609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you know when it's time to transition your LO to another solid meal? A is almost 7 months and eating twice a day, doing really well, but she's still young and bf is going well, she bfs about 6x/day, so how do I know? How old was your LO when you started feeding 3 meals a day? What about snacks? </p>
