jcle6 replied to topic Bub won't sleep til late at night!!!!

Hi Christian's Mum. Are you breast or bottle feeding? Maybe trying rice cereal first would be a good idea as you mix this with breast milk or formula for a familiar taste. Also, my baby was not enj...

Thank you both. I have just started him on solids over the last couple of days, but I am giving him this for lunch at around 12pm, rather than in the arvo, so maybe some a bit later could help. The...
