Title: Solids and bottles .. Drop in interest in bottle
Post by: Mommyadel on March 03, 2015, 04:10:07 am

Hi all,
LO is 7 months old and is losing interest in the bottle.. She still gets her dream feed at 9:30 and her bedtime bottle at 7pm. But during the day she seems uninterested. I've resorted to giving her a scoop of formula in her solids and giving her a 2 ounces of water in her soppy cup because she loves water so much. Any suggestions on what I should do  or how to get her back on track? I'm worried she is not getting enough formula throughout the day. Some say take into consideration the overall ounces she consumes not just formula.  On overage she takes about 600-700ml a day plus her solids. Any suggestions?

How much is she having in solids during the day? At her age the formula is her main source of nutrition so if she is eating a lot you may well need to scale the solids right back until the milk picks up again and then slowly reintroduce her solids. It's a really common thing to have to do at this age!
