Ds is almost 6 months- I'm wondering how milk feeds go once babies start on solids?
I'm keen to stop breastfeeding as it's been difficult from the start and he's happy to take formula from a bottle.
If I stop bfing during the day and replace these feeds with formula would I still be able to feed him through the night? He wakes 2 or 3 times between 7 and 7 and it's so much easier to breastfeed in the night than make up a bottle feed- also he doesn't seem to want much (his feeds seem very short recently and he's not interested at all in the day- i have to switch sides about 3 times before he finally settles for about 5 minutes then he wants to sit up)
How much milk do they need in the day if they are taking solids? We tried a bit of purée the other day and he took almost 60ml of avocado and pear and drank about 2oz of water afterwards- is this overdoing it?
I'm clueless sorry! If anyone can share what their 6m old ears/drinks during the day night that would be really helpful- thanks!
