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.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
