It depends if I go back to work and his reaction to it, if it is going to be too stressful for him, I will do one or two feedings a day, it shouldn't harm anyone, right :)?

I planned to BF my daughter(now 7mths) for the 1st 6 mths, however, she had other ideas!! At 4 and a half months she was SOOO nosy that she didn't take proper feeds as she was always interested in lookin around. I did also express but without the proper suckin stimulation i didn't feel i was producing enough and it was becomin impossible to go anywhere what with havin to pump etc.... So, i then moved onto Aptamil formula and started weaning at 5 and a half months as she was showing a great interest in our food and watching us eat. She now has 3 meals a day with milk at lunch and dinner and before bed. She has now started copying the chewing motion and so i have just started on lumpier foods
