Do you feed your baby a bottle/breast, then give a solid food meal right away? Or do you space things out?

I do breast & then a hour or so later solids. I did not start solids until 7 months (current advice of US peds) and then my baby only recieved 2 small solid feedings per day. Until 1 breast or formula should be the main source of nutrition

The hospital will usually want the mother to immediately breast feed and continue breast feeding until released from the hospital. Then it's up to personal preference of bottle (formula) or breastfeeding. You usually don't introduce solid foods to a child until at least 6 months or until the doctor give the okay. Due to the child's stomach is still developing and can not handle solid foods. Most physicians recomend not starting a solid diet till a year old. The child will do just fine.

My baby is one year's old now. But when she first started eating solids, I would give her the solid food first then give her a bottle/breast. If she took it she did, if she didn't I just tried later. When you took her for her last check up did the doctor have any recconmendations? After a while you'll be able to tell when she wants to eat and when she wants her bottle/breast.

Ask your doctor. Everyone has a different opinion on this.
Breasts fed babys can literally live on breast food for the first year. At around six months it is good to introduce foods in to their life. Some kids sit in the high chair with the family and eat
It seems like each child is different.

Space them out,that's too much for a baby unless I gave her a little bottle & gave her some solid food.

My son was formula fed and never had any pain that was out of the ordinary while teething. He started teething when he was about three months and it seems like he's never stopped! He's 12 months now and has 14 teeth, going on numbers 15 and 16. Honestly, I didn't know he was teething when he was getting his first two bottom teeth. I thought I just had a drooler because he didn't act like he was in pain or anything. He just drooled a lot. The two nights before the teeth popped through weren't any fun though. He was 4.5 months and was waking up every two hours again. Other than that, I haven't really lost any sleep over teething.

I would assume space things out because babies can only eat so much as once though the metabolism is pretty fast. So Id say space out.
