Whoever said starting your babies on solid means less breastfeeding is lying. My daughter is still hungry after her little gerber cups I give her so I have to breastfeed her after. I only feed her 1 gerber a day and continue breastfeeding her which is still every 2 hours. Started her on solids a week ago & she turned 4 months yesterday. In my culture babies are fed beans, juice and everything else at 2.5/3 months. I am definitely against beans for babies and against starting them that early but I felt like she was ready for her rice & gerber and she's been doing great :) with the exception that she doesn't like banana. Only pears & apples so far.
