DD is almost 20 weeks and exclusively BF. She has had 10 blissful weeks of feeding once during the night and has had 6 feeds during every 24 hours...
Until last week, when things have gone haywire:
she has now started waking to feed twice a night at completely unpredictable intervals, has added another feed 15 mins after her normal bedtime, and some feeds are a lot earlier than I'd expect.
All that seems to suggest she is ravenous - we have toughed it out for 7 days and I need reassuring that this is much too long for it to be just a growth spurt that will go away.
I'd love to wait until 6 months to wean, but this has been such a big dramatic change I can't ignore it - or is it worth waiting a bit longer?
Also, if I do get the baby rice, how much do I give first? And do I try it every day, or give her gut a bit longer to recover from the new experience of solids? Some thoughts would be massively appreciated - my HV is off sick, so haven't got an official type person to ask!
