DD not having much milk

5 replies

DD was breastfed apart from one or two bottles a day until a few weeks ago. She started to refuse feeds from me (I think I dried up due to stress - if you've seen me around you'll know why!).
DD is now mostly bottle fed apart from oneish feeds a day.
Today she has had max 11 ounces - she just refuses any more. :(
(she's 21 weeks)
HV said about 2 weeks ago to introduce solids (when she began refusing feeds) and she's loving them but I know it's milk that she needs more than anything.
Anyone had experience of this and can offer advice?
She's not eating enough solids to fill her for all that time though.
She seems happy and content otherwise and still getting wet//dirty nappies although it's a bit harder to tell because we use reusables how wet they are.
Just worried she's not going to get what she needs!

Sounds like my dd2. She never dranks more then 2oz of milk at any time. This would take an hour or so for her to drink with us both in tears and very stressed Sad, and never more then 10oz in a day, where as DD1 would drink 5 9oz bottles a day.

I did wean her at about the same age. We just made sure we included lots of youghots and cheese in her diet, she was happier child on food.

Even now at 4 she rarely drinks milk, but eats plenty of cheese and yougots.
