chloe may want solids????

Today she has only gone 3 and a half hours between bottles ... have upped it to 8 ounces for tomorrow but if she the same tomorrow am gonna do her on solids I think !!! Shes only been on 7 ounces for 2/3 weeks .. I am guessing if she gone up that quick she may want more than just milk ???

I think 3.5 hours between bottles is brill, they usually say anything 2 and under is bad, but then if she is wanting to keep getting it upped more often it might be a sign she is ready, you could try her and see what happens?

I gonna try her on 8 for a day or two .. if she doesn't drain bottle will drop back to 7 if she does but still goes the less time may try her !!!!

I wondering if for her the less time is a sign as she has always done 4 hours since birth no problems so anything less is very odd for her

[sarah*]

ohh yeah sounds like a sign to me if she used to go 4 hours but now 3.5! hope she does well with the 8oz

[~* Helen *~]

I'm hoping she will be satisfied with the 8 .. I not sure if she would drink the 8 tho ... to me it seems to much .... could 8 be to much but her still want solids ?? If that makes sense ???

[sarah*]

yeah it makes sense, milk can be boring i dont know if i would want to drink 8oz of milk in one sitting LOL so if she does leave it, it could still mean she is hungry but wanting something else, maybe try her on the 8oz if she dont drink it all next time do the 7oz then a few spoons of rice cereal after and see how long she goes

I may try that ... also ryan was weaned at 5 and a half months and shes not far from that now but shes heavier and drinks more than what he did at her age

[sarah*]

Yeah my girls were eating things at 4 months! she would be fine on solids

[~* Helen *~]

Think will have to try and see !!!!!

Normally a very good indication of being ready for solids is waking in the night again, has she been doing that? You know her best so if you think she is ready then go for it

[~* Helen *~]

no wakings in the night ... Ryan never did that sign either lol they both like there sleep too much ... she was fed at 8 and shes moaning as if she is hungry again already although at the mo seems happy with her thumb lol

Is she on the second stage milk Helen?

[~* Helen *~]

No no yet ..... we are thinking about it and have asked emma for her tin in case we do ... we probally will ..

Today she has gone 3 hours on 8 ounces so think its time to crack on with the food

[mrsdutch]

I think she is ready for solids. You can at least try. Sebi was 5 months and did brilliantly. Theo wasn't quite 4 months. Now I really wanted to wait with Theo but he was drinking literally all day and night for 2 weeks and I couldnt cope any longer! I dont know personally how babies can wait till 6 months without solids unless they are little

[~* Helen *~]

I think she is too ... to me upping her an ounce and her still going 3 hours is an indication .. I have apple defrosting in the fridge !!!!!

[Haltia]

ooo Hope she likes it Karl loves apple! I was like you Helen and wanted to wait and even hungry milk didn't stop him wanting more so i just gave him solids and he is so much happier!

[~* Helen *~]

I can't wait to try her ... shes been more sicky today so think 8 is too much but she wants more if that makes sense so 8 of milk is too much for her tummy so hoping the food will help !!
