My DS will be 10 month old tomorrow. I have weaned him when he was about 8.5 months old. At first, he took very little formula, about 12oz a day which i thought had to do with the introduction of bottle. After awhile, he started to drink about 18 - 20oz of formula a day which is fine.
However, since June 7, he drinks less and less formula. I am currently giving him 4 bottles a day at 7am, 11am, 3pm and 7am. He sleeps thru the night. Even when he woke up at 7am, he would take only 3 - 4oz of milk lately which i find is unusual. Although I have recently caught a cold (symptoms showing starting Thursday), i don't think sickness is the cause of it cause he hasn't been drinking much milk dating back 3 weeks ago! I try to mix milk with his solids which would give him roughly 12 - 14oz of milk a day. For his mid-day feedings at 11am and 3pm, he would take only 1 - 2oz. I am not sure what to do and I have been feeding him milk first and will give him solids an hour after with the exception of his 7pm bottle. He has dinner at 5pm. I tried to give it to him in a straw cup. Not interested either. Though he would use a straw cup for water.
Basically, this is his schedule:
7am - Bottle (3 - 4oz now)
8am - Breakfast (about 4oz of fruit purees and 2 tbsp of cereal mixed in), 2 - 3 tiny pcs of chedder cheese
10am to 11am - 1st nap
11am - Bottle (1 - 2oz)
12 - Lunch (about 1 oz of meat puree + 2 oz of veggie + 60ml yogurt)
230pm - bottle (1-2oz)
3pm to 4pm - 2nd nap
5pm - Dinner (5 tbsp of flavored cereal)
645pm - Bottle (2 - 3oz)
I don't think he is eating much solids for his age either
. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a bunch!!
