As junior is now 13 months old, we feel he is ready for it. At the nursery the childrens age is between 12 months and 2 years. We went there to get an intro, and a plan was made to school junior in.

Be smarter than the baby. Sounds simple ? Its not !

I feed him milk around 11 pm where he goes to sleep. From then he wakes up ever 60-90 minutes and wants to feed again. He’s not hungry he just want to suck a bit of milk and go back to sleep. If I don’t feed him he starts crying.

As you can see, this pattern is very tiring for me. I don’t get much sleep during the night and I can’t sleep during the day. So in the long run I just get exhausted.

I started with giving him milk and then a little solid food. After 2 weeks of this, I started to give him solid food, and then after 30 minutes give him milk. In most cases he wasn’t hungry for milk until an hour later. I give him solid food 1-2 times a day (1 of the meals before bed time).

He would hold it for a few seconds and then drop it.
