Ds is nearly 7 months and going pretty well on solids - we have just introduced the third meal and all seems well However, I'm unsure about how to start dropping milk feeds - he's still feeding 5 times a day and once at night.
Trouble is, he won't take a cup or bottle. I've tried him on a variety of cups and although we have had a teeny weeny bit of success with the avent cup, he really isn't getting enough to make me feel confident about him getting liquid into his diet this way. I've tried just dropping the mid-morning milk feed altogether and it hasn't seemed to bother him that much, but surely I need to be replacing this breastfeed with milk, water or juice from a cup, rather than just not giving him a drink at all?
I'm a bit confused! Should I just drop the milk feed altogether if he's happy to do so, and persevere with the cup until he gets it, or should I continue giving him a breastfeed AND try him with the cup as well??
TIA
