Weaning baby not drinking milk!

FTM just after some advice really! My DS is 6 months old and we have just started weaning. We are doing purees 1 meal a day blended vegetables and fruits. Since we started he has gone off his milk! He normally drinks 5 7oz bottles but he is only drinking 3, 4,5 oz now. This morning at 8am he only drank 3oz and he normally guzzles his morning bottle (last bottle at 10pm). He seems happy enough but any idea why he is refusing milk? Is it linked to the weaning? He's not eating that much to be dropping bottles yet. Any advice would be greatly received. Thank you!

I would assume it's due to something else, possibly teething or just an upset tummy? If he's eating only a tiny amount of puree once a day, it wouldn't affect his hunger for milk feeds. I'd just keep on offering him feeds as normal. It will likely increase again in a few weeks.

Thank you for your reply! I will just keep offering feeds as normal and see how we go! No sign of any teeth yet but he is windy so could be that!
