Weaning blues
Hi everyone, I'm first time mum to an exclusively breastfed (nursed) baby, feeding overnight, as and when, very much responsively and not on a schedule- basically as and when he wants it! He will be 6 months old in two weeks and everyone keeps saying we need to start introducing solids and weaning...my problem is I keep meeting two distinct camps of people who either keep breastfeeding their babies and do a bit of baby led weaning (I.e. letting them play with food etc whilst giving them most of their calories from breastmilk) and those who mostly spoon feed and weaning the babies of their milk.
I suppose my question is what have you guys done? No judgement on what way is best etc, although to be honest I enjoy breastfeeding so much, want to continue and am a little daunted about the prospect of going from something so easy breezy to steaming broccoli and introducing foods and potential allergies etc.
Thank you.
Edit:
I appreciate this is a sleep sub but I adore the responsive philosophy of Dr Pam Douglas and was keen to see what likeminded people did when it came to feeding after 6 months. Thank you.
