I have a 6 month old girl who is currently on 2 “meals” a day, she currently has breakfast and an evening meal.
Recently she seems to just not seem to want her milk, she is now bottle fed (I breastfed her until she reached 4.5 months old).
It’s been a slow build up to get her up to 6-7oz bottles, which she was drinking every 4 hours on the dot before weaning.
We started weaning her at 5.5 months as she was showing all signs of being ready, and our HV recommended doing so.
Anyway, when it is time for her bottle (every 4 hours) she never seems to want it. She will drink about an ounce, and not want anymore. I then give her a little break of about 15 mins, play etc, then offer again (I have to reheat it as she will not drink milk that isn’t warm) and she will drink it. I’m not sure if she’s just not hungry enough since weaning, or if she doesn’t like it when it’s just been made, and prefers when it’s been sitting for a while?
Am I supposed to have dropped one of her bottles?
This seems to happen a lot particularly in the morning, she has a 6/7oz bottle before bed at roughly 7pm. She then wakes at around midnight-1am and I give her a 5oz bottle.
She then doesn’t feed again during the night, so I assume she will he hungry in the morning but she just turns away when I try to give her a bottle.
Does anyone have any advice, or had a similar experience? Frustrating having to constantly give her ‘breaks’ and reheat the milk as it pushes all her feeds later for the rest of the day!
