Hi everyone,
my ds is coming up to 7 months and has started to refuse his bottle. He is still taking his solids well and still has one bottle at 6.30am with a struggle and last bottle at 7pm also with no interest, taking 3-5 oz each time.
I'm not sure what the reccommended amount of milk is at this stage, but it seems ds is not taking enough. He used to guzzle 8oz bottle every 3 hours plus solids!
He has no problem taking solids, he loves his breakfast - 10am, lunch 2pm, dinner 5pm and i try to incorporate his formula in whatever food i can but its not enough.
I have tried giving him a bottle in between feeds but i just plays with it.
He is teething but i'm confused as to why he prefers to eat solids but not milk... i would have thought he would go off everything... I know the books say that the milk should be given at mealtimes but realistically this has never worked for me so thats why I wait a while and give at 3pm.
I even tried to cut down the portion sizes of solids, but that didn;t work either!
Would love to hear your opinions.
