Hi yeah i would defo start weaning her on baby rice, my friends little boy was a big baby and he got weaned from very early on. I would start with the rice on a morning, maybe a little at dinner time and defo give him some before he goes to bed as it might be te reason he isnt sleeping through at night, as soon as i started to give kaden mashed up rusk with his milk or baby rice he started sleeping a lot longer. Hope this helps a little hun add me if you like xxxx

again like the others i weaned my little boy at 13 weeks wiv a bit of baby rice and he was definately ready for it x

thanks everyone for those helpful tips. ill try them all. fir those of you who asked he goes every 4 hours between feeds day and night. And when i was pregnant with him i was told he had a bigger stomach than the average baby. he was 6lbs 15oz and he had doubled his birth weight at his first immunisation. he sometimes falls asleep after a bottle but not very often.

Hi. I started weaning my daughter at 13 weeks as she was constantly hungry and it hasn't done her any harm at all. I would advise you to keep it very simple for now though as he is so young. Plain baby rice at a normal meal time (morning or lunchtime) will do to start with. If you start giving food just before bedtime you are giving his little tummy a job to do just before you are expecting him to sleep and it is quite likely not to help him sleep if his tummy is busy. Stick with the hungry baby formula and if he is asking for more then give him more. Start with the baby rice once a day and move on slowly to twice a day and then maybe start adding some pureed carrot or apple (or other fruit or veg) into his diet. I used to mix the purees with the baby rice to make it creamy as my daughter found it too tangy otherwise. My daughter started sleeping through from 8pm till 7am at 13 weeks so hopefully this will help with night times too. Good luck and take things at his pace. xxx

my baby is 11 weeks and enjoys a jar of baby puddin give him some baby rice or some jars he obviously wants food..or put rusks in his milk my baby is having 6oz milk 5 bottles a day and a few spoon fulls of pudding she loves it....some babies need more than just milk. although ur hv would be horrified just dont tell her it wont harm him...
