Hi lovelies,
My dd at 9 mo is 7.8 kgs and a proper hyperactive kid. From the moment she wakes up she wants to wriggle out of the bed and bring hell down. She has been cruising since 7mo and has just about started with few steps of walking. She's generally a happy chirpy baby but also very demanding and amdament. I started baby led weaning at 6mo and she's been eating almost everything. She did have bouts where she wouldn't want to eat. Also she's so hyper she will barely want to sit in the highchair (max 5 mins) and she'd want to get down to play and move around. So I have started feeding her myself while she plays. 😬 This has led to her willingly eating enough solids. I usually give her milk an hr before solid meals and before putting her to sleep. But she has suddenly started rejecting any milk whether it's before sleep or meals. If at all she does.. It'll hardly be 30 ml or less. She's sleeping fine her bowels are normal (solid food kinds) and she's generally well. My only concern is that infants at this stage still need milk for their complete nutrition and my lo might be missing out on that by skipping milk. I exclusively expressed until 6 months and then combination in month 7th and 8th. I've decided to stop expressing now for perosnal reasons and am happy for her to be on formula. Haven't changed her formula or anything so that's not the reason.
Anyone else experienced this and how did you deal with it? Is this just a growth spurt phase, is there a chance she'll go back to milk again?
Thanks again for any help coming my way! ❤️
