Has your baby dropped a bottle / reduced milk intake since starting solids
Show your support
My baby is 8.5 months. When we first started solids from around 6 months she was having the same amount of bottles as well as two to three meals and only recently she suddenly didnt want as much. She still as her usual amount of bottles but drinks slightly less. I wouldn’t worry your baby will naturally reduce milk intake when she no longer wants xx
my 8 month old used to be on 5/6 bottles before weaning but only around 6 ounce bottles. She now takes 3 8 ounce bottles during the day plus breakfast dinner and tea
It’s reduced a tiny amount but I still give him 7oz incase he wants it. But normally it’s 6oz. We do 2 meals when he’s not in nursery and when he’s in nursery they give him 3 full meals and he drinks 5/6oz
My girl started to not drink as much of her 2nd and 3rd bottles so I started to push her to 4 hours in between and now she drinks more and only has 4 bottles a day. She has around 160ml in the morning then between 150-180ml for second and third depending on what sort of mood she’s in then she has 210ml before bed and she sleeps through (from 6-8 months she was waking for a feed in the night so I increased the amount of food and last bottle and now she’s back to sleeping through)
My little one is 7.5 months and has 2 meals a day and eats a fair bit. She’s reduced her milk for the first 3 bottles but increased her other 2 feeds so she’s still having the same amount per day, just drinks less around the times she’s having food. I presume she will drop a bottle however when we introduce the last meal of the day in a month or so tho x
