Milk

Anyone elses baby’s gone off their milk? He eats 2-3 meals a day he will always finish his morning bottle but afternoon and before bed one’s he has a couple oz and that’s it. He’s meant to be having 21 oz and is having 18 at max. I’ve tried dropping the amount of food and still no change. He just screams until he gets more food and straight up refuses his bottle. Any advice welcome 😩 pic of my little monster below 🥰

Yes!! My LB is 9.5 months, taking 3 meals and has pretty much lost interest in his bottles! We offer 24oz/3bottles and I'm lucky if he takes 18oz too! He loves his food and still sleeing through the night so im just following his lead & trying to incorporate his milk or whole milk into parts of his meals! Xx

@Roisin thank god it’s not just mine! I thought I was doing something wrong I’ve literally tried everything to get him to have the recommend 21 oz as hv was moaning at me but he just won’t take it! I’m thinking of just buying some of the baby vitimans to add to his food so he is still getting the same nutrients x

Exactly the same position here. 3 meals a day.. she will have most/all of the morning 7oz but anything offered in the day is hit/miss, then of her evening 7oz she only really manages half. I’m so glad she’s taken to food well (although some meals are not as successful!) and she’s fairly ok with water.. but I worry about the lack of milk x

Like Roisin, our baby sleeps through and seems happy so I’m just rolling with it and trying to get milk in where I can x

Hi, I was waiting to see if anyone else was experiencing the same thing. My little girl has gone of milk. She doesn’t like it anymore. She will have the solids but milk is a no especially during day. I fight to give her at least 50 ml while sleeping 🫣. It’s the only way she will drink it. Then I wait during the night to give her a bit more while sleeping again. It is soo difficult, especially with the guidelines that say milk is the main source of nutrition till 1🙈. She will have max 400 ml per day on a good day. I don’t know if is enough but doing my best. Hopefully it will change and this is a phase

Yes ours has dramatically reduced. Will have before bed bottle. But morning and through day is a nightmare. Are you starting to give vitamins ?

@Claudia I’m thinking about it, going to go to boots today and speak to the pharmacist x

My grandson has three meals and has gone down to 2 8oz bottles in the morning and bed time. Sometimes if he doesn’t want food at lunchtime and wants a bottle he’ll have 6oz before a nap. He’s more a foodie than a bottle, he only seems to want milk more when he’s teething x
