DS is just under 7mths and has been trying out solids for a month. He's in his first full week at nursery (full time), having done a settle week last week and it's going really well. He's eating everything they give him - from tomato risotto to shepards pie - but I'm worried that he's not getting enough fluids.
In the past he's happily taken a bottle, but the last couple of months has point blank refused and the cup isn't a hit either. I've asked the nursery to keep trying a bottle after his nap and to try and give him water throughout the day with a cup but so far the bottle has been refused and the cup has had minimal success (although a little has passed his lips...).
I've been giving him an extra breastfeed early morning since he started nursery in case he didn't eat while he was there, so a typical day would be:
05:30bf
07:30 bf
10:00 snack - fruit purée or rice cake
11:15 lunch - spag bol/tomato risotto etc...
14:00 bottle (fruit purée if refused, so every day!)
15:30 tea - soup or sandwiches
17:00 bf
19:00 bf
He's not yet been constipated (there's been grunting but no crying or hard poos), but it's early days so I just wondered if anyone else had little fluid-refusers at nursery!
Should I do extra bfs at the weekend?
