Have posted this in weaning as well, so apologies if you've read it before!
DD (6m) started on solids three weeks ago. Since then, has dropped a milk feed totally (refuses 10am bottle with tightly clamped together lips) and has reduced overall milk intake from 900ml per day to just under 500ml. She's loving her solids but should I limit the amount that she eats in order to get her to drink more milk? She has her bottle before breakfast but after lunch and dinner - she refuses most of her solids if I do it the other way around (if I give the bottle first, she takes 700ml per day, so a lot more milk but very little solid food). Should I give her smaller bottles before the solid feed and then hope that she'll eat more solids? Or should I just chill out and let her have what she wants. Very confused about what to do - help!
