Baby refusing milk

My nearly 8month old is now on 3 solid meals a day and loving his food, but is now refusing his bottle having max 10oz a day, he sleeping well and seems to be full but worried he not getting enough milk, I tried making his meals smaller and he would just scream but still refuse milk, done milk first and still hardly drinks, changed tete size, any advice?

Some babies wean themselves pretty early 🤔 keep offering but at the end of the day if he isn't loosing weight, has enough wet nappies and is having good texture dirty nappies (paste, peanut buttery), there just isn't really anything to "fix". My LO has drastically decreased his bottle as well, but he's got a really impressive cold atm so it has picked back up a bit as fluids are easier on the throat. I think they just like what they like at the time

I have been trying with some water as well to keep him hydrated but he defo not having as many wet nappies 🥴

I would keep offering the milk but plenty of water too. See what happens. If you're worried about dehydration, speak to your GP.

Same with my boy, he is unwell too so it’s all come at once with the dropping off bottles.. but seem to be back on them a little now since the other day.. I kept making and offering much more than his normal few he was having just to make sure he was having something as I was the same and scared he wasn’t getting enough fluids. And yes offering water too much more than normal. I also made sure he was having his first bottle of the few ounces with his porridge to make sure he’d get it in. hope this helps x

Just include milk in their diet, yogurts cheese, cereal (sugar and additive free) pancakes. Just sub the milk in his food as best you can. Was what I was advised
