Could really use some advice on the best way of going about getting DS2 started.
He will be 6 months on Monday and is currently exclusively breastfed. I need to start him on food and I'm hoping to do a mixture of purees (carrots, squash etc) and chunks (banana, broccoli, toast) and will offer water in a cup with each meal.
I am due to be back at work straight after Christmas and DS who will be 9 months will be doing one day and possibly the night before with my parents and 3 days in nursery a week. I never had much luck with expressing so would like him to be off the breast before Christmas so it's not all too much of a big change in one go.
Do I start giving him formula at the same time as I start food or leave it a bit longer? Should I give it in a bottle, never used one before, or cup? What formula should I use?
I'm tying myself in knots trying to do what's best and getting all confused. DS1 was formula fed from 3 months and I didn't have to go back to work so I've never had to think about this really.
