I'm so confused with weaning.. Pls help!!!

[Zehra]

Hi, my baby is 5 mths and 2 weeks and was exclusivly BF for 4 months and has continued BF'ing with approx 8oz of formula as her last feed of the day since. I now need to cut out BF as I am returning to work so have been giving her more formula feeds, have also introduced baby rice - the problem is she now never seems to drink more than 5oz of her milk. She always gobbled down the formula. Am I confusing her? Please help.

i would cut out the baby rice, she does not need it. milk, milk and more milk is all she needs , until around 6 months.... why did you introduce the rice? babies often have a growth spurt around 4 months and then again at 5 months or so.. the best thing to fill them up is milk.
