My 8 month old had awful silent reflux as a small baby. She's grown out of that now but still has seriously fussy phases with milk. If she's having to s growth spurt she will take milk easily and happily but that's maybe a week out of every month.
The rest of the time it's a complete battle other than her middle of the night feed.
She was taking 4 bottles a day of around 6oz and her bedtime one was 8oz but she stopped being interested in her morning bottle so she dropped that and was doing better on four bottles and it made it much easier for me as I wasn't trying to squash 5 bottles into the day when she's never very interested.
She was taking
4am - 8oz (she always looks for a night feed and won't settle unless I feed her. She sleeps through apart from this so I'm not fussed about changing it til she's ready).
10am - 8oz
2pm -8oz
7pm - 9oz
However she's now refusing her milk again and is down to taking only 4-5oz in each feed meaning she's only taking about 20oz a day and even that is a fight.
She's not really taking much in the way of solids either. She likes fruit and fruit pots and brocolli and a few other things but she's only taking mouthfuls at most so it's not like I feel she's filling up on solids and dropping milk.
Would you be worried or is she just not a big eater? I'm worried about her fluid intake too.
Trying to get her to take milk just now. She had 4oz at 10am and then had two bits of pasta for lunch and a bit of bread which she didn't really get much off. She is point blank refusing any milk just now. Surely she must be starving!
