When did your baby start eating first thing instead of milk?

[SASASI]

DS is 7 months.
BF so gets breast first thing then breakfast.

When should I swap this about? I think I read it should be around now?

Dreading it as i still wake up leaking some mornings & it's such a relief to latch him on first thing!

I've not heard of this, and my DD is.8.5mo. I still have a drink in the morning before breakfast so don't see the problem with her doing it :)

Mine has milk first thing and breakfast afterwards... at 2 years old.
It's all up to you and your baby, really. Whatever works best for the both of you.

Mime have tea first thing. It directly replaced bm

DD is 16 months and still has milk before she has her breakfast. I always have a drink before my breakfast too.

At around 10 months. Now at 14 months he still has milk before nap and before bed. Aiming to drop the nap one soon.

My 3 and a half year old still had milk before breakfast! She won't get out of bed without it.

Mine is a grump before her morning milk! I don't blame her though, she's been in bed for 12 hours usually so must be thirsty.

My four year old still has a cup of warm milk first thing. It's nice and means I make my coffee and his milk and we have a cuddle on the sofa. Breakfast is an hour later (he wakes 6.30 ish). No need to change I don't think unless there are issues with timing ie having to get out of the house for nursery.

DS is 15 months and still has milk (at 5.15am today Grrr) before breakfast at around 8 ish.

I think DD was probably about 18 months.

Ok great - thanks for the replies! I can keep BF'ing first thing for a while yet - much handier for going baby to work instead of expressing first thing.

back baby brain!

Er, 4 years old? Or if I wasn't around to bf, from about a year, but he'd probably still start with the cup of milk.

Dd is just starting to drop her morning feed now at 19 month so there is no need to rush.

Only when I stopped BF at 15 months. She then refused any milk in the mornings

DD is 19 months old and has a sleepy breastfeed for an hour or two before getting up. Possibly not ideal, but at 7 months you have nothing to worry about!

DD is 22mo and I don't have time before work to witness the painfully slow cereal eating. So she has a bottle to keep her going until nursery.

Once I am on mat leave with dc2 we might stop it, but I like the fact she's having a decent amount of liquid and I'm sure it's more nutritious than a bowl of rice krispies!

Only when I stopped breastfeeding. Around 2.5 yrs.

Not yet. They are 11 and 8 we have coffee (for grownups) or hot chocolate (for dcs) first thing (6-6:30) in bed 3 or 4 mornings a week. Keeps them going until a late weekend breakfast or breakfast club on a school morning.

Mine still has milk at 3.5, the only difference is now he has it froma sippy cup so I can got on with making tea etc.

DD is 2yrs 9mo and still has milk (now cow's milk in a cup) before breakfast. She often has a few grapes in a bowl too. It buys me some time to have a shower and get dressed etc before going down for breakfast. DS (10mo) interestingly doesn't really have a breakfast bf as such, but he still wakes a few times in the night for feeds, the last of which is about 5am, so I take that as a breakfast bf!

Around 12 months I think. Was down to that feed & bedtime by that stage I think. I feed until 18 months.

DS (2.5) has milk first thing while I have my cup of tea, works for us. He still eats a great breakfast of fruit and porridge.

DD had stopped BF-ing completely in the daytime and was on just two breastfeeds a day from 9 months, but she was 18 months old before she dropped the first thing in the morning breastfeed. She didn't stop the evening feed till she was almost 2 years.

My 2.6 year old flits back and forth x
