Starting Solids: The one thing they don't tell you

Wow. After one meal of solids, we are back to my original plan... EBFing for 1 year!! It was great, then it was horrible! We had tried solids at 6 months, just to see how William would do, and No. He refused (it made me really happy, actually). So three weeks later, William just wouldn't stop wanting to eat, but then didn't want to eat. So we tried again. He LOVED IT!!! He gobbled it up, I was not happy anymore. Till the next day, when he finally had his solids poop, bam 2 huge blisters and a massively rashed butt! I found out that my friends little girl went through the same thing when they started her on solids.

So what don't they tell you:
The first couple of solids poops burn your babe's butt! Just a heads up!

Schedules...

It took almost 6 months months before my son had himself on a schedule, and in one weekend all things can go out the door!! I miss it so much!! He would sleep for 10 hours, nurse, sleep for 2 hours, up for 2 hours , Sleep for 2 hours, up for 2, then sleep for 1 hour, up for 3 or 4 hours, bath and then nurse to sleep (anywhere from 1/2 an hour to 3 hours...). I loved it, wish he could get back to this!! How long is it going to take??
