Choose a time for your first complementary feeding date when your baby is neither too hungry nor tired and you have plenty of time for each other. Just like on a first date: If you’re so hungry that your patience is wearing thin, it’s better to have a bite to eat in the car (or, in the case of your baby, at the breast or bottle) before the date; if you’re so tired that you can’t really get to know the other person, it’s better to postpone the date until a time when you can give your partner the attention he or she deserves. The time of day plays the smallest role: whether it’s midday or in the morning…
