Hi all
I'm Karen (30), mummy to Evan who is 4 months and one week
We started solids 6 days ago now after what I thought was the 4 month growth spurt just wasn't ending after 2 weeks. When it got to the point where he was either nursing hourly or for 3 odd hours at a time we had to give him something else. Up until then he was EBF but I just couldn't maintain that level of feeding. Now Evan gets a small portion of solids morning and night and is doing great on it. We are taking things slowly but I am hoping that it will carry on being the smooth process its been so far!
