What happens to milk feeds when you start weaning?

[zebedeethezebra]

Started weaning 6 month old DS a couple of weeks ago. But I'm not sure what happens to the milk feeds. Obviously he still needs his milk but Annabel Karmel talks about dropping lunchtime milk after only a few weeks of weaning.

DS is really quite skinny so I don't want to drop his milk feeds at the moment as he only takes on average 650-750ml per day. When we do decide to drop a feed, the first feed we want to drop will be the 10pm one, not lunchtime.

How do people generally fit milk feeds in around solids, and how do we know when we can drop the 10pm feed and still have a baby that sleeps all night?

I'm BF and BLW my 10 mo DD. She was a skinny one too and I haven't deliberately dropped any feeds. Still feeding on demand around 6 times a day/night. When I started weaning, I offered the solids about an hour after a feed. Can you try that?
Re: 10pm feed and 'a baby that sleeps all night' - lucky you. Keep it!!

I dropped the 10pm feed pretty soon after starting weaning - doing purees and BLW initially but after 1 mth or so just BLW. Try it and see...

I did have a few days of 4am wakening, but she was taking very little milk, and actually this happened a couple of weeks after dropping the late feed. Controlled crying for two nights and she stopped the 4am waking too as she wasn't really hungry, think it was more due to rolling.

She has been going from 7 to 7 since 7 mths just on BLW.

I an just starting formnula but thought the recommended amount was 600ml after 6 mths? so 650-750 sounds plenty.

to be honest I wouldn't. If he needs it he needs it. Mine has only now driopped from 5 to 4 bottles and that is on top of 3 meals a day! Play it by ear
