Amelia does this all the time as well, she's having 8oz every 4 hours sometimes less and still doesn't seem satisfied after. Don't know what to do

I have started to give my lo fruit puree as she upped her milk and as i am breast feeding my breasts are so heavy in the morning i constantly wake up in wet patches even though i tend to change my breast pads in my sleep! She is 14ibs now and i've always weaned mine between 3-4 months and none of them have any intolerances. Everyone has different opinions you just have to look at all the information and do what you think is right for your baby - that goes on throughtout their lives and is why we can spend endless hours sharing ideas!

All babies really are different. I weaned K and J at about 4 months and they took to it really well. L was ready at about 4 months (waking in the night, never satisfied) but would he hell eat. It was only this week that he has accepted puree's. I was taken aback by his unwillingness to eat but it really proves that all kids are different despite raising them the same xx

Glad to hear so many positive things about early weaning
