My baby is awful with solids and I’m sure it’s because she’s having too much milk. Our typical day is

7am - 2-4oz formula
8:30am - 2-3oz formula one weetabix
10:30 - 7oz formula
Hardly eats lunch at all ever
2:30-3pm - 7oz formula
Dinner is hit and miss sometimes eats a full bowl other days eats absolutely nothing just Spits it out even her favourites.
6:30pm - 4oz formula
7:40pm 4oz formula before bed.

Is this too much?

@Russell19 I know I’m not but her milk was so low a few months ago around 11oz such a struggle then we got into this routine and now it’s the solids that’s a problem. So I was thinking

6-7am offer 4oz she usually has 2-3
8;30-9 breakfast 1 weetabix with 2oz
10:30 4oz and nap
12-1 lunch
2:30-3 4oz before nap
5-5:30 dinner
6:30 4oz
7:40-8pm 4oz

Is there any milk during the night?

Do you need to feed at 6:30pm AND 7:40? Couldn't you just combine that fees into one at say 7pm?

No milk during the night

She won’t drink more than 4oz at once never has

But that doesn’t matter her two before bed bottles obviously don’t affect her solids

Just trying to suggest things to make life easier for you...

If she only has 2-3 oz after going 12 hours without a feed it's clear she is not hungry and you can cut out some of the milk.

I appreciate your help but she does wake if she only has 4oz before bed and not the 8oz between the bottles. She’s not great with her morning bottle
