The Feeding Thread

Re: The Feeding Thread

With my first, breastfed till she was 3 months shy of her 2nd bday. Started solids around 5/6 months with mashes.

The second is now over 1 year and I plan to bf him as close to his 2nd bday as I can iA. A few months back he was marginally underweight so Dr suggested top feed once a day. He’s recovered well and eating three meals a day now so the top feed has stopped.

I gave both my kids fresh milk post their 1 yr bday in the form of a bottle/cereal/ kheer.

this is the 2nd time i read the title of this thread as the freedom thread =/

Re: The Feeding Thread

Exclusively breast fed for a week before complications started. From there on, I pumped for a month and gave it to him via bottle along with formula as needed. Hoping to avoid all of that with number 2 inshallah- this time, I’m going to take breast feeding classes and hire a post partum lactation consultant!

He started solids at 6 months with soft khichri, oatmeal and fruit purées as his first few meals.

Re: The Feeding Thread

I breastfed for 2 years no top feed. introduced solids at 4 months . My son is almost 3 mashallah and eats whatever we eat. I do add yogurt to his food if i think it`s spicy. he loves yogurt anyway so he eats that a lot. He takes fresh milk from sippy cup or normal mug/glass . i do add a bit of junior horlicks and honey to his milk
