Does introducing solids generally mean better sleep?

What are your experiences?

No. Makes no difference.

DS has been on soilds for 3 years now and still is rubbish at sleeping!

Not especially. It was the boys wearing themselves out by crawling and walking that finally sorted them out. (the former did coincide with solids - well, 2 protein-based meals a day so I couldn't tell you which it was).

What magiclady said. DS is now just over 10mo. He started weaning at 5.5mo, was on three meals a day by 6.5mo. This all coincided with him moving around much more and learning to crawl and pull himself up. He's now just beginning to cruise around the furniture. Every time he learns a new skill his sleep goes rubbish for a few days and then when he's mastered it he's just knackered from doing it so much! I do give him a yoghurt or a little bit of porridge at bedtime just to fill him up overnight, and that seems to help.
