Hi there,
My 24 week old ds is on week 4 of weaning is all going well and he seems to like everything I've given him so far (am following Annabel Karmel).

This is the first week that he's been on 3 meals per day, and I know he needs a minimum of 18/21oz per day but he's still on 4x9oz feeds (he's FF) so that's 36oz (some days he doesn't drain ALL his bottles but never really leaves more than 8oz a day max and today for eg, he's had the full 36)..... Am feeding him milk before breakfast and lunch and then around 2/3pm and at 6.30 after his bath..... Do I need to be reducing his milk or just wait till he's more imterested in food than milk... Or should I give him his solids first???

TIA

I would always do milk with added solids until 12m+ and i split the milk and solids up so solids were an hour or so after a milk feed.
