My DS has never enjoyed his bottle particularly but starting solids at 6 months really helped as I could finally cut it down instead of force feeding him 5x a day! We had huge battles getting him to drink it. Now at 10 months he loves his food but bottle-wise will only drink 5oz first thing in the morning and 5oz before bed. He is fiercely independent and we couldn't get cereal down him after a while so now he feeds himself shreddies and banana chopped whilst we eat breakfast (same story at dinner - he feeds himself as won't let us get a spoon near, def not teething, just strong minded).
I've been putting formula in his yoghurt / fruit pot etc but to mix in the required amount of water is basically a full bottle over two puds if you see what I mean (given breakfast cereal is now out unless he self feeds and shreddies are easiest for this). I have put some scoops in with yoghurt without water but wonder if this is ok....no adverse affects but I'm not sure if there is a medical reason not to and cannot find anything online.
What do people think? Can't wait to get him on cows milk when he turns one as I worry so much about him getting what he needs. He's physically very healthy, he's quite chunky and 75th for weight and generally in rude health ....but I still worry!
