How many bottles?

[Zelda93]

My dd is 7 and a half months and has been on solids from about 5 months but by six months she's on three meals at day. I still feed her a 7oz bottle at 6.30am, porridge at 8.30, snacks then lunch at 12.30 which is a full Aldi pouch of casserole and then a full yogurt.. she's then have a home cooked meal at 4.30 and fruit pouch, then last bottle at 6.30pm 8oz. My concern is her lack of bottles I did try to do a morning bottle but she's just refuse it. She LOVES her food and isn't unhappy at all but I'm just worried she's not getting enough milk ?? What are your thoughts?? Thank you

You can't force her to take it! Vitamin supplement to make sure she's got enough vit D perhaps, as Formula is supplemented with it but they have to take a certain amount to get their percentage

My boy is 8.5 months old and refuses his bottles generally, he has 5oz on a morning, I offer 5oz at 10am and 2pm (he doesn’t snack between meals yet) and he invariably takes about 3oz with a bit of effort, then he has 5oz at bedtime about 6pm Which is also a struggle. He has 3 meals a day (main and dessert for lunch and tea and porridge or weetabix for breakfast)
I went to see the health visitor as I know he should be having 20oz still (he barely had any last week but he’s been much better this week) and she said it’s fine if he’s having milk in his food (porridge etc) and cheese / dairy for him to have about 15oz which is what he gets. I also give him a multi vitamin which he was prescribed from birth as he was premature.
I wouldn’t worry if she’s happy and healthy.
It’s amazing how quickly they change, I was worried about a month or so ago that he was having TOO MUCH milk as he was guzzling 5x8oz bottles plus his food. It’s a minefield haha.

Thank you, I just needed to check as I have no idea.. what I will do though is look into getting vitamins then I know she's getting everything she needs! But it is a minefield and all changes so quickly!

I've got the reverse, trying to get 7.5month old to take more food as he's sticking to a good 50oz of milk a day at the moment!! And has now reached the 99th centile!

He only has a bit of porridge or yoghurt with fruit for breakfast, about half a pouch at lunch, and then a few nibbles of whatever we're having or some of a pouch for dinner. I think he's too fond of his milk!
