    Since I've been weaning my daughter doesn't drink her bottle in the daytime much - it's a real struggle. I've tried feeding it to her before her meal and after and she just fights with me. any suggestions?

    I started weaning my son at 16 weeks on baby rice mixed with fruit puree. I found that introducing the solids mid bottle helped and after a couple of weeks started giving all the solids. Little man loves his food :) xx

    I started my son with baby rice, when he wasn't too tired or grumpy. It took quite a few attempts but he got used to it eventually.
