Hi, My baby is 9.5 mo. and still has 4 bottles a day along with 3 meals. He has been refusing some of his bottles-I just thought he was exerting his will since he will usually eventually take some if I persist. Tonight he went to bed without his bottle, and I just wouldn't think he's ready to drop the nightime bottle first. Do babies ever do that?
I should mention that he is in the 88th percentile for height, but only the 6th for his weight, so I am very concerned with his food intake, although the doctor says he is healthy and has had consistent weight gain.
Questions:
1. Should I be dropping a bottle at 9.5 months?
2. If so, should it be the 11 am one? I read other posts, and it looked like people just moved that one a couple of hours later.
Also, for solids, I give him stage 3 foods, yogurt, cheerios, elbow mac. Should I be doing more finger foods since he only has 4 teeth?
Thank you!
