Morning - bottle or breakfast first?

For those of you who have little ones that have started weaning off milk and eating more solids. Do you offer a bottle or breakfast first in the mornings? We’re now down to 3 bottles a day, with the middle one getting smaller so I can see that being dropped soon. My issue is that my little girl loves her food at every meal and snack time except for breakfast. I can’t get her to eat anything other than strawberries, which are her fav thing in the world. I’m wondering if her bottle is filling her up so she can’t stomach breakfast? She wakes up desperate for her bottle and it’s normally the biggest one she has in a day. The problem is if she doesn’t eat breakfast she needs more snacks to get her through until lunch. She’s also on the very small side, so I want to make sure I’m helping her eat as much as possible.

Bottle first and whatever is left I add it to her breakfast weetabix. We are on 3/4 bottles a day but barely finishing them!

Bottle within 4 mins of him being awake 😂

We do breakfast first on nursery days then bottle first the other days. Breakfast has to be straight away pretty much as soon as we get her up. There have been a couple of times she's not wanted to eat any breakfast until she's had milk. So if she's not well or she woke up too quickly and is grumpy

We switched up our order when baby started nursery. So, she has breakfast first and then bottle. She definitely loves her breakfast more. And like yours used to get full from her bottle and barely have much breakfast. Strangely now, she’ll eat all of her breakfast and have her bottle 20 mins later and drink the lot. Whereas before we had to wait longer and she didn’t touch much breakfast.

We do bottle first as my little girl is at nursery 4 mornings a week and gets breakfast not long after drop off, she has her bottle half hour before nursery so it's usually about an hour before she's getting food

We had this exact issue, she wasn’t eating barely any breakfast. I changed it so she has her breakfast first and now she eats most of it. She’ll then go on to have a bottle but has dropped from draining a 7oz bottle to having 4/5oz x

We do bottle around 6/6:30am and then breakfast 7:30/8am. We were having the same problem and reduced his morning bottle to 6oz instead of 8oz which seems to have helped. We tried to do breakfast first but he got too upset x

Mine has breakfast first, he’s still not a breakfast fan though but if I gave him a tray full of fruit he would engulf it 🤣
