Weaning and dropping feeds?

We have dropped the midday bottle first, so she has solids for lunch, and now she is starting to drop the morning bottle as well. 🥰
Let them lead the way with bottles, don’t just cut them out. We were on 2 meals a day at 7 months and 3 bottles. But the oz he had in his afternoon bottle dropped from around 8oz to 5oz. Then around 8/9 months it dropped completely. He’s 15 months now and obviously on 3 meals and snacks and has only just dropped his second bottle x
They will naturally drop it over time or go longer between feeds z
Baby’s main form of nutrition must come from breast milk or formula for at minimum the first year, so I would offer bottle and then offer food after playing and digesting a bit. At this age it’s more to explore texture and taste and practice picking up pieces and spoons. “Food before one is just for fun” as they say 🙂
@Claire I agree with Claire’s comment, feedings for milk shouldn’t change unless they honestly don’t want it
My sons almost 11 months old and still on 3 bottles alongside 3 meals a day. Its recommended to always offer milk before food until they're 1 and if babies dropping below the required amount of milk in 24hrs I'd cut back on the food a bit x
Just see which bottle she isn't as interested in. With my son it was the morning bottle so that was the first to drop
