I've been weaning my 7 month old for the last month and she's now moved from 3 hourly feeds to 4 hourly (7oz bottle at 7am, 11am, 3pm & 7pm) She has 3 meals a day at around 8am, 12pm & 5pm. Also has a small morning and afternoon snack (usually a finger food) She never grumbles or seeks out bottles/food but always happily scoffs everything offered! She's average weight and size.
Milk is there main nutrients untill they are 12 months so I wouldn't reduce that untill shes over 1. Is she a healthy weight? If she is I wouldn't worry about it just make the food shes being offered healthy. The NHS weaning website is good for recpie ideas for a baby.
Not sure what makes you think you’re over-feeding, if she’s average height and weight.
What you’re doing sounds perfectly fine for 7 months. Milk is more important for nutrients than food at that age so I wouldn’t drop any bottles for a little while yet.
She eats a lot more than my six month old but she's quite small and not a big eater (she's never had a 7ox bottle in her life, or a 6oz one for that matter), but babies vary a lot.
If she's eating all that and a healthy weight then I really wouldn't worry.
Sorry, I maybe worded my message wrong. I didn't mean to drop milk feeds completely (as I know they're the main source of nutrition for the first year) I was meaning when was a suitable age to drop one single bottle, for example the 11am feed in place of lunch. Or should I continue all 4 feeds as well as food for longer? Also the snacks I give are things like rice cakes or melty sticks to practice independent eating
