I have just started giving my DD some tasters of purees this week, she has so far enjoyed a little bit of carrot, some sweet potato, and some apple. I've been giving her this about 11.30am a while after milk, and before a nap.
She has her milk feeds normally at approx. 7, 10, 1.30-2, 5, and 6.30 and they are nearly always 7oz. She doesn't feed during the night.
My question is, when does solid food become a proper meal, and when do I start to cut back on milk? My (well meaning) MIL says that I would give her a proper lunch soon, and reduce the milk feed prior to or after this feed, but I just have no idea. She is always very hungry at 7 and 10am and I think it would be a struggle to cut milk from 10am. Should she have breakfast? I just don't get it - I don't understand when you increase solid food, at what time, and when you reduce milk. Help!!
