Possibly try and offer solids 1hr after giving the bottle, although I know this will feel like you are constantly feeding him during the day. Try not to worry or force it too much, as milk is his main source until 12months and he obviously loves his milk like Calum.
I noticed a drop in his intake at around 8.5month mark, he now only takes between 20 -26ox per day over 2 bottles and a sippy for lunch. He also gets load of milk in his solids meals.
Try and offer bits of toast with cream cheese or jam on them, bread sticks, etc........ I aslo used to give organix finger foods from Boots (can't remember the name off-hand), pieces of veg or fruit
A friend told me once you get weaning established, then teething might not throw it so much...I'm just concerned at getting it established a bit late...
Sadly, not the case here!! Calum is teething at the moment (still NO teeth!!) and as a result his milk and solid food intake are both down. When he is teething (or ill) I tend to concentrate on keeping his milk intake up, rather than offering him food (although he loves his food as well).
Vic, can you let me know in what order you started the weaning process?
5.5months your LO got baby rice
When did you start breakfast?
When did you start lunch?
What foods do you offer?
What consistancy?
