Currently doing baby led weaning with my 6 month old but am a bit confused as to when to offer food - is it before usual milk feeds, after, or at other times to when he has his usual milk feed? He happily has his milk feed followed by porridge and banana for breakfast, but when I offer veg or fruit for lunch after his milk he doesn't seem too interested...I'm keen to know what others are doing and what has worked!

If it's any help when I weaned mine (bf) I alternated milk and solids as it didn't seem practicL to combine the

at one meal especiAlly with my twins


I also found it suited me, and a blw approach, to offer solids when I was having my own meals


When I start weaning my latest baby I think I will do something like


Milk in bed as usual about 630/7


Cereal, fruit at 8ish with the other children then milk and a nap


Awake at 930ish

Solids about 1100

Milk at 12ish and a sleep


That sort of thing


However if you are bottle feeding there is prob less of an association between milk and naps

At first the solids ate just for taste esp

If blw


Everybody finds the first month or so of weaning us very awkward and seems to be nonstop feeding


It will start to feel

More natural and fall into s pattern as you get used to it

And then

The pattern will change every few months till you get to 1y plus and milk starts to play a backseat

Thanks Fuscia - all very helpful. I think I will alternate milk and food (rather than combine as one big meal) as you suggest. He doesn't associate milk with naps so don't really have to work around that. It's all very new and confusing at the moment but (hopefully) we'll get into the swing of things..:) He seems happy enough so I probably just need to relax a bit.

    • It's great that the council will do this, but it does seem a costly waste of their scarce resources, unless there are factors which I don't know about? Surely rather than dealing with a few piles of dog poo on request on an as and when basis they need to find some way of addressing the whole problem? What do other boroughs/countries do? Have things got worse since COVID, when the dog population seems to have quadrupled round here? Did some people acquire dogs without thinking through the less cuddly aspects of ownership? Could dogs be trained to use a litter tray and/or bury their own poo, like cats do? 🤣 (That was a joke, btw).

    • They could refund tix already bought though, couldn't they? We did this recently when we had to reschedule a gig due to the headliner's serious illness. That was a bit different because people had the option to transfer their tix to the new date when confirmed. But in  theory everybody could have got a refund, though in practice only a few people took that option up.
