My LO was drinking 42 oz a day and has all of a sudden dramatically dropped to about 26-28 oz a day. They're 6 and a half months old and barely eating any food yet some days refuses solids all together. Is LO getting enough milk a day ?

How often are you offering solids @Anon36834 and are you offereing them roughly an hour after LO's bottle?

At first it might look like they're not eating much but the nappies usually tell a different story

Offering solids twice a day morning and evening and yes offer a bottle an hour later

Ok so if they're only 6 months I'd cut the solids back to once a day, roughly an hour after his bottle and try again in a few weeks with a second meal.

You're aiming for 3 meals between 8 and 9 months so there's no rush
