Eldest was BF and bottle...BF dried up around 8.5m. Wee-one was BF (no bottle) for about 20m.
BF is great for cost-effectiveness, but it's only as nutritious as the nutrition going into mom. Bottle is convenient in public places and on roadtrips, but it gets pricey and can cause sensitivites and food allergies.
For me the debate is something of a moot point...solids is what gets stuck in my craw. *chuckle* I'm a big advocate for waiting on solids and then only doing rice cereal. As for the jarred stuff, my kiddos start with the dark green veggies, then we go to the orange veggies, and at the very end we do the fruit. Problem is that they don't eat nearly as balanced once they're onto table food...we've gotta do something about our table diet....*lol*
