    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Thanks for replies about tax credits - we were underpaid last year so I wanted an idea how long it might take to get what I'm owed.
    We didn't bother with favours but if we were getting married again I would steal that idea :D
    I didn't even know about favours when I got married.

    Sorry FBB, how old is LO now?

    At some point (different for every baby) the food takes over the nutritional provision for babba. Until that time then milk will be the main source of nutrition (she waffles...hoping to make some sense...) So take your lead from what baby wants - if he are still wanting lots of milk then go with the flow but do try to offer meals at consistent times...just don't worry about how much he eats.

    If you don't go for some kind of rough timings it can be really hard to fit everything in to a day!!!


    How helpful am I LOL!!!

    Thanks MFD :) T is 6 months old next week :T That makes total sense about still just offering the meals at consistent times, I am gonna go for 9 ish, 1 ish and 5 ish I think. He did have a go at eating a rice cake and a chunk of cheese himself today so pleased with that.

    susan by my estimate we were underpaid as they had OH down as self employed when he was a SAHD! so fingers crossed we get a nice letter with a nice lump sum soon!!!
    hope you get it through soon too xx
    What's for you won't go past you

    At 6 months Benjamin was still breastfeeding regularly (I never kept track of him, just gave him milk whenever he wanted it LOL) but I was offering him 3 meals a day at roughly the times you say. I found that his milk intake slowed as he got older, which is when his eating really took off and he started to demand food at regular intervals.

    And I still can't get him to eat a chunk of cheese LOL!
