HELP...with weaning

[ang22]

Even though this is my second ds i can not remember certain things about weaning so would appreciate any tips. Firstly my ds is 20 weeks draining 9oz bottles of HUNGRY baby formula and has now started waking in the night and not settling without a feed. He is also very interested in my food and just does not seem as content after feeds now. Is it still too early? Also if i do start with just a bit of baby rice at what time of the day is this best to do? He feeds at 7am 11am 3pm 7pm and 11pm. The other thing i cant remember is do i give him his bottle first or after? I cant believe i have forgotten all this!!! Appreciate any tips at all.

Advice has changed.

Have a read of this I know it talks about bfing, but the developmental stuff applies to all babies.

Then have a look at BLW

Milk is the main source of nourishment for babies under more year, if he is draining those bottles give him more - he is probably undergoing a growth spurt. His formula milk will be far more energy dense than any baby rice or veg puree.

When you do start weaning it's best to offer solids after milk.

Everyone says to wait for 26 weeks. If you want to do it early I would check with your gp.

I started weaning last weekend - She had baby rice at 12pm (bottle at 11am). Now she has bottle at 9am, meal at 12pm. 4 more bottles before 8pm and a meal at 5pm!

Its up to you really what time you do it.

Agree ask ur hv or gp.
My dd is 22 weeks and hv has given us the go ahead to wean coz she isnt gaining weight but i am going to wait till she is at least 24 weeks.
Mayve try and ride it out another couple weeks but tbh do what u feel is best.
