40 + oz and 2 meals a day

[Anon36834]

Hi, I've recently gotten over a bottle feeding aversion with baby and LO is now drinking 40+ ounces a day. I heard this usually means time for weaning however LO is having purée and baby rice 2 x a day and still taking this amount of milk. Is this normal?

How old are they?

Sorry should've mentioned. 5 1/2 months. Pead has ok starting weaning from 4 1/2 month

It just means they are hungry/need more calories or it can be a sign of reflux.

How much do they weigh?

The reason I was asking about weight and age is because under 6 months they should be having 2.5 floz per pound in weight.

So If LO is 16 lbs, 40 flip is entirely appropriate and not a sign that they're needing more

*floz

7.8kg so I think about 17 pounds

So they're having roughly the correct amount of formula and it's nothing to worry about

If the Oaec has said you're ok to wean, have you tried sobering more nutritious than baby rice like Banana-Cado?

Oh that's good then Thankyou:) Yes I've tired banana, apple, pears, mangoes, avocado, pumpkin, sweet potato ect... not a fan of it all but keeping at it

Have you tried any finger foods yet? As long as he's showing the signs of readiness you can try some finger foods like banana, lightly steamed broccoli, or a peeled slice of pear
