DS is 6.5 months and exclusively breastfed. We've been trying to introduce solids but he's not really interested but super hungry--so seems physically ready in that he wants more food but not developmentally. I've increased daily breastfeeds to help with his nighttime wakings and it seems to have helped but I'm a bit exhausted! I'm considering introducing a bottle of formula during the day to just have a break but unsure what 'number' I need.
I'd like to use Hipp or a Holle but leaning more towards Hipp since it seems more widely available. Do I need 1, 2 or 3? 1 says for breastfed babies and 0-onwards (but they all seem to say something about being for breastfed babies...), 2 says for hungrier babies, and 3 says for weaning babies 6 months +. I'm confused which to get because he seems to be all three! Do I stick with 1 since he's breastfed or do I jump to 3 because he's six months and weaning?
Any advice?
