Hi,
I have 7.5 month old twins. Started weaning at 6 months. I have a Ella's kitchen weaning guide and in there it's written from 7 months offer food then milk.
So when a milk feed is due I offer solids then milk. Currently taking 4x8oz bottles a day. If they eat well then they may only take around 6oz instead.
What my question is, is that on mumsnet I find threads saying that you don't interfere with bottle feeds so you give the solids and bottle an hour apart. In the guide it stated that only at 6 months but 7 months onwards give solids then milk.
My twins still take upto an hour to finish a 8oz bottle so I cant exactly give solids straight away as they wont be hungry.
Usually the feeds will go like this;
6am - milk 8oz
10am - breakfast weetabix or porridge followed by milk feed
2pm- lunch followed by milk feed
6pm - milk 8oz
Where they have something to eat they will only drink around 6oz-7oz.
So am I doing the whole weaning process correct as I read all sorts online?
Thank you
