Food and milk
Hey, so my LO is 7.5 months old and is currently having 2 meals a day and eats quite a bit of it most days but I wouldn't say I give him a huge portion. I've started to notice he's having less of his milk. He normally has 6oz, 5 times a day but sometimes he will have 3oz and I've noticed it's the one after his meal (this is still a good couple of hours after he's eaten) has anyone else's LO cut down/out milk feeds? The general guidance of what I've heard is if they are cutting down on their milk, cut down their meals instead as milk is their primary food source until 1.
Any advice is welcome 😊

We are down to 3 8 0z bottles xx
My son is the same age, we now give him x3 7oz bottles a day, and he typically has around 4oz before bed x
We’ve gone from 5 to 4 bottles and now on 3 bottles and 3 meals. He is 8.5 months. Takes between 18-21oz milk a day. Health visitor advised 16oz-20oz.
It’s normal for them to start having less milk and increase solids. My lo is 7.5 m and she has solids then milk before every nap/ sleep (4 times a day+ more milk in the night). I always feel that if they want it, they need it
Thanks everyone! I may drop a bottle as he will still be getting 24 oz even if I drop to 4 bottles a day, see how that goes! 😊

As long as he is having 600ml per day it’s fine if he cuts down a bit. He may be getting ready to drop a bottle. I’ve found my girl is going slightly longer and having bigger feeds recently
