I read these boards for constant information. Thank you!

Do I drop morning or afternoon feed first with my 8 month old.

She currently has a bottle at 8 am 11 am 3 pm 7 pm 11 pm

Thanks x

We dropped the mid morning feed but by then wasn't feeding over night.

Ok maybe that would be better adding third meal
Just weaning has been very hard as she's not that interested in food still!

why not add in the 3rd meal first before cutting any milk. You may find she starts taking less milk of her own accord

Marmalade granny think will take your advice and drop 3 pm one and push back mid morning after her lunch and bring forward 7 pm to 6 pm.
Sadly can't drop night feed as she's quite little for 8 months and is genuinely hungry then - it's def not for comfort. Wink

I'd drop the 11am one as she's eating lunch. Mine all kept having milk after their nap (about 2:30pm) for a long time.

I would get rid of the 11pm first before looking at the daytime feeds

DD also wouldn't go near a spoon... Still won't!

We dropped the mid morning one at about 8 months. DD is now 14 months and has milk in a cup when she wakes up, mid afternoon and a bottle at bedtime. I would drop her afternoon milk but don't think she'll get enough fluids if I do.

How about pushing 11am one back to around 12noon & bringing 7pm one forward to around 6pm. Worked with my brood….

I should add she also has breakfast and lunch - all fingers foods as won't go near a spoon! Grin
