Mom of a 2 yr 5 m old girl1 Year ago

Q.

When should I give solid food to my baby? Should I breastfeed her right after she wakes up and wait for few hours to give solid ? Or should I straight away give solid food to her?Right now, I feed her after she wakes up and give solid food 1 hour later. She usually eats only two to three bites or not a single bite.

A. Hello mom as her tummy is getting full by the breast milk hence she is been avoiding solids, you can plan accordingly , so as she wakes up , make a routine, wash room, oral cleaning , and then proper breakast , inbetween you can feed, but if she is super hungry once wakes, up and time for breakfast to make then feed her wait for her to get hungry , some indication you could obsevre that would give a rough idea about it and then give her breakfast,
