How can i transition from breastfeeding on demand to solids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just add solids: If baby is ready for solids (around 6 months, developmentally sitting independently, using pincer grasp, no more tongue thrust reflex) just start slowly with 1 new food every few days to watch for any reaction. kellymom.com and breastfeedingusa.com are also good resources Baby Led Weaning book But it is a long, gradual transition - breastmilk is still the main nutrition until well after 1 yr
