weaning am I doing it right? does she need water?

[whewjuice]

DD is 6 months. We started weaning just before 5 months. She likes food and has an appetite but I don't know if I'm doing it right. How much food should she be having? I still give fairly small amounts and she's still having just as much milk as before. Should I give her less milk and more food? Also her poo recently is quite solid, she doesn't seem in pain when she goes but am I meant to be giving her sips of water after she has food to stop constipation? Sorry for all the questions I'm a 1st timer

I would keep same amounts of milk but offer water at meal times,
Try not to give too much bread as can constipate

Oh and as an example at 6 months mine feeding day was something like:

8am breastfed
9am some porridge (2-3 spoons) or egg (1/2) and banana ( small amount)
11am breastfeed
1pm 1/4 avocado, some grated cheese (baby size handful), x2 strawberries
3pm breastfeed
5pm breastfeed
7pm bit of what we had. Say 5/6 pieces of penne pasta and bolognaise. One small piece broccoli
8.30pm breastfeed

Water at each meal. Last feed at night around 8.30pm, then slept until 8am ish

I think at that age you are more introducing taste and texture so they should still be having a lot of milk so sounds fine. Poo does become more solid when they eat real food so font worry too much about that either unless your baby struggles with it. If your baby is still drinking s lot of milk then she is getting water this way. I would offer water with meals to get her in the habit but sounds like you are doing fine with the weaning.
