I am trying to wean Sam and he just doesnt enjoy it! His night time sleep has really suffered due to chicken pox and teething all that the same time and now can wake every 2 hours - not needing a feed just a 5 min feed then off to sleep again.
I am now going more down the line of baby led weaning as its horrible to see him screw up his wee face at every mouthful and am reading a good book about baby led weaning which basically says that although you need to introduce solids at 6 months the main source of food is still milk. He now has managed to gum a piece of toast to death and i offer him fruit and veg, cooked until soft, in finger size pieces and he manages to get some in his mouth. Cucumber is a particular fav at the mo but that will be nice on his wee gums.
We managed 6 hours sleep before he needed a feed last night!
