As you know about 3 weeks ago I got myself into a tear about Ella's feeding and started her on food. I last a couple of days and then stopped.
Well I decided that now is the time for her as she's been eating baby rice cakes with gusto (she now has rice crispie poo!) herself, stares us out when we eat and she does 'seem' ready. So for the past couple of mornings I've been expressing and making her up some baby rice with a spoonful of organic baby fruit puree. She really enjoys it. (I think baby rice is tasty!).
Not sure where we go from here really. She normally wakes at around 6am, has boob and then I have been giving her baby rice at about 8am and more boob. Then she has copious helpings of boob throughout the day.
I don't think I want to introduce any more meals until she does hit 6 months which is 2 weeks today, but don't know how I am supposed to go about this with demand breastfeeding (if that doesn't make me sound feeble!).
