No Idea what i'm doing-Pls help!
Ok so i started weaning my Son a month ago it was going well got him up to 3 meals a day it was fine. Then i think he started to get a bit of cold and maybe has gone off his food.
Im breastfeeding him and find it hard to work out when he's hungry now that im weaning im so used to giving him my breast rather then food and so when i think hes hungry and try to give him food he refuses it.
Also not sure of the routine of milk then food or food then milk he manages about 1 meal a day 2 if im lucky, he's also waking up more in the night too.
Please advise me just cant seem to get it right at all. AARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!

i would try offering the breast 1st, then food after a short break. then when weanings better established move it to food and then the breast.
hope this helps, everyone does it different cos every baby's different, you just gotta find your mojo! :0)

How old is he? I have found that my milk comes out more quickly now (can result in her coughing, bless her) and is meant to be more filling so I find her milk feeds are much quicker then they used to be.

8am- breakfast (porridge or puree fruit with baby rice
gradually added anothermeal so by wk 4
6am-bf
8am-breakfast
11am-bf
1pm-lunch (fruit/veg puree)
