Well, I have been bf my 6 month old daughter since birth, and now she is starting baby food and it has been great. She is taking to the baby food just fine and seems to still enjoy bf as well, however my mom is telling me to feed her table foods, I am not too sure if I want to do that, but my mom is really pushing me to quit bf and begin giving her table foods. I planned on bf until she was at least a year old, but my mom thinks that is a bad idea, I am starting to feel confused. What should I do??

Thanks,

Tai

Honey we all have gone through this I'm sure. Just gentley and ever so kindly tell your mother to butt out!! lol no really just tell her the truth that extended bfeeding is great for baby and has more nutrition values than any foods your baby can eat right now. Maybe print out some articles that backs up your facts so she can read them I'm sure after that she will back off if she sees that bf IS better for her gradchild right now. Good Luck!! :o)

Starting a baby on table food is a slow process, speacially for solids.  At 6 months usually a baby can't even swallow most table foods.  I breastfed my son for 13 months and he didn't start table food until he was 11 months.   And we did that because baby food was getting too expense. My mother and mother-in-law both pushed for me to stop BF at 3 months so I can understand the pressure.  Bottom line, this is your daughter and you control what she eats and doesn't eat.  That's what worked for me...

babys shouldnt get table foods until they are at least a year old. If I were you I wouldnt stop Breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is not a bad idea, babies need it until they are a year, and beyond if they choose. I dont think your mom is right to push you to do something that you dont want to do. You do what you think is best for her, and BFing until a year and beyond is:) good luck!
