Hi all. Please don't anyone attack me. BUT. My baby was 10lb 4 born. He's huge - not really fat but just really long. He was having 80ml of expressed milk within 48 hours of birth. He's now nearly 4 months and smashed 9oz's in minutes. I'm almost making two bottles of (now formula) for him.

Seeing as we're nearing 4 months and you can give puréed food soon, I'm going to do it. I don't want to ask my health visitor for advice because I know they'll be all like 'you should wait till 6 months'. But I know my baby and I'm making this choice. He's interested in food. Can sit up unassisted etc.

So. I'm going to make my own purées and accompany feeds with milk and just see what happens really.

My question is about what we make up in the purées. I've heard people say things like, fruits for breakfast, savoury for lunch and tea. But I'm just after a bit of advice really, to make sure he gets the right amount of nutrients.

Thanks in advance xx

Hi OP,

We thought we'd just pop by as we've got a few pages on weaning that have lots of info and ideas. Have a look here
