My DD is just over 9 months, and 7.5 kg, so not massive. After a slow start, she is now going great guns with weaning, she loves her food, and has a mixture of spoonfed meals and finger foods - mainly bread and toast at the mo.
What she has looks like this:-
7am 6oz bottle
8am toast followed by fromage frais
11.30 am lunch - spoon fed meal
2.30 pm 6oz bottle
5pm tea - mixture of spoon fed and finger foods eg scrambled egg and toast
6.45pm 6oz bottle
10.30pm 6oz bottle.
So my question is this - should I be dropping the 10.30pm bottle? I took her to be weighed yesterday, and the HV said it wouldn't be doing her any good, having the milk at that time of night - like us having a meal at 2am. She said she should be getting all of her calories during the day now.
Trouble is, DD has recently started waking for this bottle (rather than me waking her), and seems to really want it. She is still having her morning bottle. So do I wean her off it, and increase her daytime calories, perhaps by introducing snacks, or leave things be until she drops that feed natiurally? I am also really unsure about what the HV said.
Many Thanks :)
