Milk intake really dropped
Since my son has been on 3 meals a day, his milk intake has really dropped off. He took well to solid foods from the start after being a fussy milk drinker basically from the beginning. We ramped up to 3 meals because as soon as he got a taste for solids he started flat out refusing milk but was also upset because he was clearly hungry.
In the last week or so, some days he will only have about 350/400ml of formula milk all day. I’m giving him vitamins as well since he’s under the 500ml threshold and have started to give him water in a tumtum through the day as I was worried his hydration would be an issue. (Incidentally he loves drinking water!).
Has anyone else had the same experience or should I give the HV a call?

@Elena thank you that’s so helpful!!! Are you just introducing calcium in the form of cows milk/dairy products?
Yes he has yoghurts or cheese for snacks. I’ve also made frozen yoghurt as an ice cream and I’ve made jelly which has milk in the recipe too x
@Elena thanks so much!
Which vitamins are you using? I tried my little boy with some drops and they’re vile! He won’t take them and I’m not surprised! X
@Charlotte I was using the ones we got from the HV but we’ve run out so just got the boots own. It says you can dilute it with milk or water so we actually mix it into his porridge and he hasn’t seemed to notice 🤷🏻♀️ hoping that’s okay to do!

Completely fine and normal my boy only has 2 8oz bottles a day now (280ml ish). My HV said this is fine and to introduce calcium into the diet x
