This post is for babies who have completed 7 months and just starting their 8th month. Before reading this post, pls read my post on 6 months baby food chart for an overview about baby food. Click here for link.
After completing 6 months(180 days) of exclusive breastfeeding, on 7th month(running), I gave one food a day at brunch time. Now, after completing 7 months(210 days), on 8th month(running), I added one more meal. So, this month, I gave breakfast and late lunch. As I am still breastfeeding on demand, I just give 2 to 3 sips of water after every meal. Do not skip breastfeeding to give solid food. First breastfeed as usual and then give solid food after sometime. Give solids at least half-an hour to 45 minutes or even one hour after breastfeeding depending upon baby’s mood and appetite.
Below is my baby’s schedule for this month. This schedule is just for your reference. Please don’t try to fit your baby in this schedule. Let your baby decide his/her schedule to nap. And you choose a wise time (to feed solids) that suits you and your baby.
