My dd is now 5 months and I introduced solids at advice of HV at 21 weeks (was this right?). The reason was a low weight gain over the previous 6 weeks which HV thought was a concern.
DD was a healthy birth weight but now heading towards the 9th centile (she is just above 13lbs). HV advised a few days ago that I need to increase the solids and put her on 3 meals a day (even at the detriment to milk intake).
DD is getting a lot less interested and for past 3 days has cried during these 'meals'. Oh and she wakes up 3-4 times a night for feeds (bf) and during day I give her a bottle (ff) but she only takes 3-4 oz per feed. What is going on? what do I do?
Any advice would be much much appreciated - is HV right? something is troubling me about her advice.....
