Soooo sweet! Congrats!
Congrats! At 2 months myself, hoping to make it 1 full year. How did BF change with the introduction to foods?
I’m not OP but I wanted to answer bc this was a big deal for me. My baby wasn’t really interested in foods at 6 mo and I was most definitely not ready and very emotional about solid foods. I waited until we were both ready (7 mo) and just chugged along quite slowly with what felt good and natural to the whole family. My little guy is 13 mo and it’s been a comfortable transition to eating meals and snacks. I still nurse at night, in the morning, and after naps. I plan to continue nursing as long as we both love it, but all the pressure is off to be on call/pump/etc. I now can leave him for 4-5 hours and know he can just snack or if I pump he drinks it from his sippy bottle. For me, the biggest difference is just that he can “skip” a nursing session and be fine because he’s eating food. We did it this way because we wanted to, so think it’s all up to you and your baby what feels good to you.
Thanks for the detailed response! It let's me know what's in store for us. 😊
It was an easy transition for us, but I agree with a lot of what the above poster said. It gets easier and you have to be less on call.
I still nurse on demand or if we're somewhere with little/no food and she needs a quick snack but she more or less transitioned herself.
Those lips are adorable!
