My little boy is 4 months old, his already on 7oz of hungry baby milk however he wants feeding every couple of hours. I have tried to get him to go longer between feeds but he gets really upset. I'm thinking of maybe starting him on baby food but not sure if its to early??

hi. i started my 1st on solids at 4mths 2wks. it's ok your hv saying nothing but milk untill 6mths but when your at home and baby wont settle and always wants feeding i think you should do what you feel.

does he finish the 7oz if so give more. making him wait longer wont work, i'd give it more often. try a few weeks more, make abit more and try every 1+1/2hrs unless someone else says they started there's even earlier than i did.

i only made baby rice though, nothing else as you make it with there reg milk. i didn't want to risk giving other foods before the reccomended time he'll prob only want a few spoons but it will make a big difference.

Hi if increasing his feeds doesn't work then its ok to start weaning try baby rice first halfway thru a bottle so he's not starving maybe his lunchtime bottle so that he will be more likley to accept spoon and new tastes once he is happy on this yopu can either then move onto fruit or veggies or just introduce more baby rice at another feed when he needs but stick to the same time every day to establish a routine
