Hi guys, first child, can you guess? 😂 I don't know if I'm doing right with how I'm weaning my little Lovey so please can I have your input ? She's is currently drinking 25oz a day over 5 bottles and eating 2 x 70g pouches of food, one for dinner and one for tea, I only started weaning a week ago and have only yesterday introduced the pouch for tea, next week I plan on introducing baby cereal for breakfast mixed with formula
Does this sound okay ? She is currently 6 months old and didn't have any solids until last week.

Thanks in advance lovely folk!

That sounds ok to me, are you worried about anything in particular? If she’s happy to eat and seems to be enjoying the food then I think all is good! Can’t remember what the milk amount guidelines are but sounds right to me, and there will be guides online to check!

Hi, thanks for the response, it was mainly whether I am giving her enough milk, some places say minimum of 20oz others say 24oz so I was at a loss if they are fully weaned ( not sure what fully weaned means but I don't think she is! )

It sounds like she’s getting enough, and if you introduce the porridge she may well take less milk as she’ll be more full with food....it sounds like she’s moving in the right direction!

Also I’d say trust your instincts, and if she’s happy, sleeping/playing well and a good weight, all is good!

Thank you @Fullbookcase, I appreciate your input, I'll try and relax a little bit a little bit now! 😊 x
