Am I the only one who finds this weaning thing a total faff?

Or am I doing it wrong?

It seems so much hassle! Firstly finding the right time to give him something to eat - he doesnt breastfeed at regular times of day, or at regular intervals, or for the same amount of time each feed, so how are you supposed to know when to give food?? I've been giving food as soon as he starts showing signs of hunger, but by the time I've got him in the highchair, got the food ready and he's managed to get the food in his mouth, he's really hungry and then he gets frustrated at how long it takes for the food to reach his tummy and starts crying. Try to help him with food (spoon-feed) and he gets cross and cries until you let him get on with it by himself. What am I doing wrong??

I went to a weaning talk at my local children's centre (before I actually started weaning), which made it all sound so easy but it's not!

Today I had such a busy day I completely forgot to even feed him Blush. I'm rubbish at this.

I heard to feed about an hour after milk. As far as I'm concerned if you miss a meal baby will just want milk that bit sooner.
