Milk before or after solids???

Hi there ladies, I haven't been on here for ages but just wanted to know whether you are giving your lo milk before or after solids?
My son Joshua will be 9 months next week & at the moment I am giving him milk before his solids.
I breasfeed him first thing in morning, then he has porridge & banana & some toast, then I feed him at about 11.30 then lunch at 12.30. He then has 6oz bottle at 3.30-4pm, dinner at 5.30 then I give final breasfeed just before bedtime.
He seems absolutely fine with this but been reading that I should be giving milk feeds after solids now. So just wanted to know what you were all doing.
Any replies would be really appreciated!!
Thanks!
Nat

  • The boys have never drank milk with their solids so we did go through a stage where I was feeding one or the other every 2 hours or so! However, they are not fans of milk and now only have 2 milk feeds (they were 9 months on 5th July)

    This is our day

    6am - 6oz bottle
    7am Breakfast - porridge and fruit
    10.30am - Snack - banana and fruit bar or some jelly
    12.30 - lunch - meat/veg followed by fruit or jelly
    4 - dinner - similar to lunch
    6pm - 6oz bottle (which they rarely drink!)

    I dont know what to do about their milk feeds to be honest as they are not allowed dairy due to a reaction when they were little (although the blood tests have come back fine, paed wants to wait till they are 1). I worry they are not getting enough milk, but I cant force it into them and they just dont want it!
