Which bottle was dropped first...

Hi all,

My dd is 7 and a half month's, and for the past 6 weeks hasn't been interested in her morning bottle. She sleeps very well of a night, 7 to 7, with a dream feed at 10 although the last 2 week's I've dropped this as she was only taking 1 or 2oz and sleep has been the same. Her morning bottle she only ever has 2 to 3oz, and breakfast which is usually porridge and yogurts followed 30 mins later. I've tried not giving her the morning bottle at all, but shortly after breakfast she then wants milk which is fine, but I was always under the impression milk should be offered before solids.

So, which bottle did your baby drop first when weaning? Any suggestions for getting her to increase her morning milk, particularly as she's gone 12 hour since last bottle and should be starving but isn't!

Can you just make her a bottle, offer bottle at 7am, she drinks what she wants, and then just use the rest at 8am on her porridge and in a a cup

If she has left over formula I do use it for porridge, but I've started only making a 3oz bottle in the morning knowing full well she will only drink a little bit! She has water in a sippee cup for her meals, hadnt thought about trying formula in a cup to see if she will have more that way, thank you!
