Have just started weaning DS (6mo), did intend to do BLW but after a carrot-based gagging/choking incident put DH off the idea, we have agreed to start with purees/mashed food for a couple of weeks first. LO is quite happy with this and will merrily grab the spoon and feed himself.
Anyway, currently his routine is something like this:
7am BF
8am breakfast
10am BF
1pm BF
2pm lunch
4pm BF
6pm BF
7pm BF
The 6pm BF is mainly cause he falls asleep on boob most nights so doesn't take that much food at 7pm, and next week I hope to swap the 6pm feed for tea so he will have a bit more milk at bedtime. But just wondered if I should try to cut a morning feed out too, or just carry on as normal til he is eating a bit more? (Breakfast and lunch are currently just a few teaspoons of pureed fruit/veg).
Please don't say 'feed on demand', I would love to but DS is so distractible in the daytime that he would never ask for boob, and would just make up for it at night! So I have to offer it whenever I think he 'should' be hungry.
