9 month old hardly drink milk or eats

[Mummy9431]

Hi everyone, I’m in some drastic need of help!
My LG is 9months old, from brith she’s never liked milk. I’ve struggled so much to get some down her but now she will only drink 2.5oz 4 times a day.

I wasn’t too bothered about this Because she used to eat loads of purée off a spoon. Last two weeks she will not take anything other than sweet stuff (fruit/yogurts/custard/puddings) off a spoon.

I’ve tried BLW she will put anything I give her in her mouth take one bite and throw it on floor.
I get this is normal but she’s not eating much and with her not having much milk. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.

Any advice?

How much does she weigh? Is she following her percentiles? The deciding they prefer sweet stuff around this age is pretty normal in my experience, just keep offering lots of variety and reduce the sweet stuff a bit. Fruit and plain Greek yoghurt are good but I wouldn't offer puddings and custard.

Reduce the sweet stuff.
Offer a variety, if she doesn't eat it, she doesn't it.
When you make food put some of her formula in.
What times are her bottles and food?

I’m scared if I reduce the fruit purée she won’t eat anything at all, I put formula in her food but again she has a mouth full and pushes it away.

Bottle 7am 11am 3.30pm 7.30 pm
Always give food and hour after bottle
Tired giving food two hours after a bottle and still same results.

She’s in the 50th centile range and Weighs around 16 pound. Not 100% sure as she’s not been weighed in a while

I might be reading the chart incorrectly but I get 16 pounds to be between the 25th and 9th centiles.

If she was previously on the 50th I'd check with the HV or GP tomorrow.

Weight centile alone isn't really meaningful, it would need to be taken in conjunction with her height, and then compared to previous measurements.

Have you tried giving milk from a sippy cup and seeing if it makes a difference? My youngest was similar and it turned out to be the teat size. I did the old fashioned thing if making the hole bigger with sterilised needles and viola! Turns out he was a lazy sod and suckling for the milk was way to much work than he wanted.

That is true, sorry utterly.

So she’s was 16 pound around 7 week ago as I’m hoping she has put weight on. I’ve mentioned all this to the HV and she does seem concerned.
I’ve tried 4 different bottles with her and 3 different formulas.I will trying making the hole bigger and see if that works.
She will drink out of a sippy cup but the amount she would need

Thanks for everyone’s advice
