ds refusing milk now ive started weaning

[fifiandtheflowertots]

ds hardly touches his milk now ive started him on solids. Used to have about 35oz a day over 5 bottles, now im lucky if he has 12oz a day. He sticks his toungue out and wont take the milk, any advice??

How old is he? Try getting milk into his food - mashed potato, baby cereals with milk, cheese sauce, try giving yogurts and fromage frais for the dairy intake. Also, do you give the milk at the same time as the solids or separately? I have to give DS his milk separately or he doesn't have room for it.

Fifi, just read your other message in the sleep forum. Could you try giving milk in a cup (lidded or doidy) - it could be that now he likes food from a spoon, he doesn't fancy sucking from a bottle. Just a thought.

thanks i'll try using a cup and see what happens, the thing is he's drinking loads of juice from a bottle but not his milk, he's just got up and had quite a big feed of milk, 10 oz, from his bottle but he wont do this for bed. Last night he was refusing nearly everything i gave him, ready brek,weetabix,porridge and finally had some puree apple with baby rice.

oh..and i give him the milk seperatley to his solids not at the same time.
