Hiya -
Don't know if there's any info elsewhere on site about this - sorry if there is, I haven't looked as I don't have much time on line - Jessica is due a feed soon.
Not sure about this subject though and would appreciate any advice. Jessica is 15 weeks today, feeding 5 times a day and is going though the night on average 7 hours.
Her feeding during the day has changed in that she isn't taking as much on - still having some problems with the boob I had mastitis in. I know she is lazy on this one and doesn't latch on properly. If I break the suction and place her on again, she pushes my boob away and her head and latches on how she wants to. This becomes a bit of a battle.
I'm not sure if her feeding habits at the breast are changing because she is ready for foods. She is dribbling alot and biting me and other things. At first I thought she may be teething and still do but it has been suggested that this behaviour is also a sign that I should wean her.
I bought some baby rice last week but haven't opened it yet. If I introduce it, how often should I give it to her and how? I know that sounds silly but do I still use the bottle with a faster flowing teat or do i use a spoon and dish - (
)
Also, when can I start introducing soft food?
Best go - she's awake again!
Love Angexxxxxx
