Help. 9.5mo ff baby not drinking enough milk

[ballroomblitz]

Been going on for a few weeks now which I'd first put down to the hot weather affecting her appetite. She will take the odd few ounces but only drinking about 12oz a day which I know isn't enough.

I've tried different cups and an open cup and different feeding times. Going to start mixing it with her breakfast again from tomorrow. Have I missed something or is there anything else I can do? She's not a huge solid eater either but I wasn't worried about that as she was drinking her milk.

Waiting on the hv team to get back to me but not holding out much hope as I found them fairly useless at the start with bf problems.

Does she take other fluids? As long as she is taking fluids and she has an alternative source of calcium then it is ok if she drops her milk intake a bit. Will she take cheese, cheese sauce, yoghurts, milk in cereal, etc as you can make up her intake using these too.

Is it just for the calcium powerhoops ? I honestly assumed it was for other nutrients and fats.

She has plenty of wet nappies and I've relented on the just water with the warmer weather so giving well diluted juice too.

Like I said not a huge eater but likes cheese sauce and adores yoghurts. I would mash loads of butter through potatoes (or cream) and add cheese into pasta and the like as I love dairy products myself.
