Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has any advice about feeding my 8 month old. At the moment we're in a bit of a mess with feeding, as she doesn't seem to be getting enough to eat in any form. She was exclusively breastfed until 6 months, when we started baby-led weaning as she didn't like us spoon feeding her. She never really took to it particularly well, and after she lost some weight when she was ill we started topping up breastfeeds with formula as she seemed hungry all the time.
However at the moment she is only taking tiny amounts of formula (60-100ml) per feed, and the only solid food she will eat is yogurt or chew on bits of toast. As a result I'm still mainly breastfeeding and feeling exhausted and don't know what to do - I'd really like to reduce the amount I'm breastfeeding. I've tried reducing the number of breastfeeds, but this hasn't resulted in her eating more solids or taking more formula and just means she's up all night hungry!
Wondering if anyone has any advice on how to get her trying more food or taking more formula? Going back to work at the end of the month and worried she won't eat during the day and will be up all night...
Thanks!
