DS is just 6months and has been having a solid (mushed) lunch for a few weeks, the last week he's been taking muhc much more at lunchtime so I think he's ready to introduce breakfast. We're starting him on baby cereal but will hopefully progress quickly to normal cereals and toast sticks (once he's completely able to sit on his own), but should I give him his morning feed then breakfast immediately after, or wait a bit?

At the mo he has morning breastfeed around 7am (depending when he wakes) then BF at about 11, 3 and 6:30pm (all dependant on his naps etc) and lunch is somewhere between his morning and afternoon feeds. Have read he ought to have a feed with his breakfast but it's as much as I can do to stumble out out of bed and put him on the boob in the morning, let alone start faffing around with food of any kind and putting off bf til it's ready....prob more a question for puree lovers than BLW

I used to give milk as soon as mine woke up, sa at 7am and the breakfast at 8am
I started with mashed banana, then moved on to weetabix
