Hi, I have a georgeous 6 1/2 month old who will gannet puree food happily 3 times a day but is only having 2-4oz milk if any of each bottle,4 feeds a day.i am worried she not getting enough liquids. She also only having a couple of small sips of water with her food!
I am not sure how to get around it as she obviously doesnt want it as she hits the bottle away from her and gets quite distressed.
I put cheese in food and use formula in the cerial and she as yoghurts, has anyone any ideas or experience with this i would be very grateful.

I would possily break down the number of feeds - maybe add 1/2 her formula to her breakfast and give her the rest in a bottle, then combine the milk of her 11am bottle into her lunch - maybe half the amount of her formula of that feed, then offer her, her 2.30 bottle as normal, and her bedtime feed as normal.
