Hi there
Been to the paediatrician this morning for vaccinnations. Had dd weighed (6 months). She has dropped on the centile line and he wants me to UP her solids. Didn't mention for one second that I was BLWing her. (In Singapore). I said she enjoyed food, and fingerfood and ate the 'equivalent' of a few spoons a meal. One or two meals a day.
Anyway, he worried me about the weight, SO, i bought some baby rice! eeek. I didn't want to go down the spoon-feeding route so just let her play with it, quite thick, and gave her a spoon with some on the end. She devoured it actually, and stuck the spoon in her mouth no problem. But what am I supposed to do? Do I just carry on 100% BLW and hope she starts to take more. She's only just 6 months fgs and just started to eat. Or do I do a mix?
He said, and I laughed inside, that solid food was 3 times more calorific than milk!!!!!!!! pffft. BUT, if I am mixing babyrice in with what is actually a bottle of formula it IS more calorific than milk yes? (am aware that a pureed carrot is far less than a bottle of milk!)
