Hi,
Did BLW with DS (1 last week) and it all went really well until about 6 weeks ago. He was EBF till 7.5 mo. After that Aptamil Follow-on. Within the space of 2 weeks we moved house, I went back to work and he cut 3 teeth, and pretty much stopped eating. Everything lands on the floor. To compensate for the lack of food, I kept up his milk feeds, I suspect this was my mistake, so that he (up to a week ago) still had 3 x 7 oz bottles a day. Now about 3 x 5 oz.
Appetite has marginally improved the past fortnight, but I think I'm doing something wrong, too much milk, think I'm stuck in a bit of a vicious circle. Can you please tell me how much your 1 year old eats and how you space milk feeds during the day? He eats pretty much anything (or rather, used to), but will take a few bites and that is it! Drinks water freely during the day. My mum looks after him while I'm at work and she is totally on board with the BLW-thing.
I'm a bit worried, it all went so well! Will only be able to weigh him in a fortnight when I have a week of holiday. He is otherwise a very happy and very active little boy! But I am so worried that he is going hungry and I don't really know other mums with young children to compare. Any advice much appreciated, will check back after the commute home!
TIA!
