dinnertime solids

[lucyp]

Is anyone out there???? In the past 2 weeks DS has started waking at around 3-4am. He has his last evening feed around 6-7pm and then off to bed around 7:30 and has been sleeping through till 6-630am ish.

I am wondering if I should start offering him some solids afetr his night time bottle?? ..

He is currently having two "solid tastings" a day ( 10ish and 2ish) and seems content with this.........any other suggestions?????

Hi there

All you can do is try! My 6 month old is having 3 solids a day, roughly at 9, 1 and 5. He loves it. He is definitely sleeping in longer stretches at night, occasionally sleeping all the way through. But this has only been in the last few weeks, he has actually been having solids for about a month and a half now.

But dont' count on solids making your bub sleep through - it is a bit of a myth that solids will do that. Some bubs do, some don't.

He could just be having a growth spurt and needing an extra feed at night for a little while.

Again, all you can do is try! See what works for you...
