My son is 8 months old and has been on 3 meals a day for about 2.5 months. He has dropped some milk but I'm wondering how much he should be on.
At the moment, he has a bottle first thing, mid morning, mid afternoon and before bed. Bottles are between 7-8oz but usually leaves a few ounces in each one. So call it 4 bottles of 5-6oz. He also has breakfast, lunch and dinner with fruit/yoghurt/baby crisps or something for after. I'm also trying to introduce snacks.
My HV has said to try and increase solids for snacks and decrease his milk. But he still seems to want his milk a lot. I'd say he has dropped 2 bottles since starting solids.
Just wondering if he should actually only be on 2-3 bottles by now. Should add he loves food and eats most of his meals so it's not as if he's not bothered about solids.
Just seems like he's eating a lot and still having too much milk??
