I have posted this in weaning but seems v quiet over there....
My ds is nearly 7 months, we have been weaning for about 5 weeks. We started with just fruit and ved but have introduced some full fat dairy products recently and they have gone down well - babybel , fromage frais, yoghurt, rice pudding and porridge/cereal with cows milk etc. The HV said they can make up part of their milk intake with dairy products. However, ds has only dropped one milk feed at lunchtime so far (ebf). He still has 4 bfs during the day and 2/3 at night! Should I not be giving him so much dairy if he has not dropped the milk yet, or do I need to get him to have it in order for him to drop the milk? Not quite sure which way it works. He probably has 2/3 servings of dairy a day. Today he has been super hungry (after being off his food last week - linked to teething I think). He has had:
Breakfast -Weatabix with fruit and full fat cows milk.
Lunch - Cod with butternut squash, fromage frais with fruit
Dinner - carrot, parsnip and sweet potato, rice pudding with fruit.
Is this too much? My mil seems aghast that he is having this and still feeding as much from me, but it seems too soon to drop another bf - and I'm not sure if it is up to me to drop it or if I just wait until he refuses it?? I am also worried that if he drops any bfs during the day before he is ready he will just make up for it at night, and he already wakes up 2/3 times as it is!! Help, it was much more straightforward before we introduced solids!!
