Background: My 9mo has been BLW and breastfed for the last 3 months or so. On New Year's day he refused the breast and has done so at every other feed since. I've had another thread going about that but as it's been a few days and he just keeps biting me instead of feeding I think I'm going to have to accept he is not going to take any more bfs.
I have been expressing and giving him that but I'm not getting much and tbh he does not seem very interested in drinking it (I've taken to pouring the left overmilk onto his weatabix in the morning). He doesn't seem very interested in milk before bed from a cup either - and we've tried it at various temperatures and from both cups. He hasn't taken a bottle since he was 5.5 mo - he used to have one of formula before bed.
He has two sippy cups, one with a valve (which has to be used without the valve in it ) and one with a couple of holes in the spout and a flippy lid. He is probably only drinking about 100mls, maximum 150mls of breastmilk per day now but he is not very good at drinking out of a cup.
He appears to be eating more in the last few days and usually has breakfast when he wakes, which is a petit filou, 1 weatabix, 1 clementine, bit of pear and a bit of pita with jam/cream cheese. Lunch is a pita with cream cheese/marmite/pate, piece of cheese and a bit of fruit and a stem of brocolli or other veg (not that he eats much of that) and maybe a bit of cold chicken or sausage. Dinner is similar to lunch but with an extra petit filou or a bit of what we're eating.
He has just turned 9months and is very nearly walking, having been crawling for about the last 3.5 months. Don't know it that's relevent but wanted to give as much info for the best advice
So... Is he getting enough food over all? Should I offer him formula or just what I express and some water/water and juice? What's the best way of getting milk into him before bed? Should we get a different cup?
TIA
