Mummies, what do u feed ur baby when they r 4 mths old n above? care to share? cause I'm worried my Mil will feed my LO porridge as main meals n not my BM... I'm exclusively bf my LO...

I think the answer here is not what we're feeding because you seem to already know the answer (ie. no feeding until 6mths, start with puree and slowly progress to porridge, no seasoning, etc) I guess the answer is if this is a matter worth pursuing. If your mil is looking after your child, this is going to be one of the many conflicts you'll face (ie. overfeeding, use of walker, seasoning in food, toilet training, etc). I'll say every mother's tolerance for each matter is different, and you've got to choose your 'battle', which are the ones you're willing to meet midway and which are the ones you have no leeway on. Personally, I'll only start my baby on solids after 6 mths. Milk contains all the necessary nutrients for growth and it's not directly replaceable by any of the solids. With such small tummies, I'll want to ensure each feed provides them with as much nutrients goodness as possible (ie. milk).
