I want to correct any misinterpretations from the my post on Friday regarding 
solid foods.  Nina responded, "nutritionally adequate complementary foods 
should be offered in addition to breast milk."  My understanding is that when 
babies start eating solid foods, their daily caloric intake stays the same. 
Therefore, their overall intake of breastmilk is reduced, thus displacing some 
amount of breastmilk with solids. 
I am well aware that breastfeeding should continue long past the introduction 
of solid foods, as well as the benefits of extended breastfeeding into toddler 
hood. My daughter started solids much later than is recommended, and she 
also breastfed for an extended period of time!
Warmly,
Susie McCulloch, LLLL IBCLC
