Milk refusal:(
Show your support
@Stef when do you offer the solids? Before or after milk or with the milk? Really struggling to know what's the right thing to do :(
If I know he is really hungry, I give him his formula first. My pediatrician recommended formula first. But he's 6 months and a big eater. On the weekends he gets solids breakfast and dinner. Through the week he goes to daycare so he's only getting solids at dinner. At dinner I give half a jar then his formula. I would say try giving milk first. Maybe it will make a difference. Don't get discouraged.
@Stef thanks Stef. My baby has never been a big eater so I was hoping to get is appetite up with solids but now have to be careful to keep the milk intake. Its not easy :(
Yea see my LO has been eating a lot so we introduced solids early behind cereal to fill him up a little. I was worried that a taste of food would cause him not to eat as much but he's definitely still a big eater. So I would say just make sure ur little one is getting that milk for sure. 😊
Agreed milk at the early stage is definitely more important so maybe reduce solids
That's all clear. But can't force a baby when he's clearly refusing it and crying if you try harder. That's my struggle. I barely give solids yet, just a taste here and there. He's probably going through teething so that's not helping I guess.
The struggle is real. I'm sorry. If u can't get him to take milk, I would consult with a doctor. There has to be a reason. Especially for ur peace of mind, so you know everything is fine. Every child is different. But u got this.
I would say cut back on the solid foods. Most of their nutrition should come from their milk up until 1. I have a 6 month old and we give solids twice a day but he is still taking 6 oz every three hours. If u are struggling ask ur pediatrician to keep ur LO on the right track.
