How to get my son to eat more?
I breastfeed at home and he gets bottles at daycare. Durring the weekends he is only interested in eating for maybe 2 minutes each side when he cries that he is hungry. But after that he pops off and tries moving away and if I dont force him back on and put my bra back up he starts screaming as if he wasnt done but also has no interest In eating? Ive also noticed he only eats about 6 times a day (3 bottles at daycare and about 3 feeds at home) which according to everything is not enough. He is also eating solids really well. So im not sure what to do? He is 7.5 months

Have you tried maybe giving a bottle at home to? Maybe he’s use to that more?
They get really distracted at this age, so feeding can take forever

Same thing with my son he’s 7 months and has been acting the same way! I was told that it’s because they’re trying new foods now so they’re gonna start wanting that over formula. Which is what we want them to do. Our doctor said as long as he’s eating and he’s getting full from it it’s fine! Sometimes he’ll eat a 7 ounce bottle after eating food and sometimes he’ll eat 4 or 5 ounces but as long as he’s eating still gaining weight the doctor said he’s fine
