Hello,
I'm hoping someone can shed some light.
I have done the EASY routine from 4weeks old on my ds and it has worked a treat. But now there is a problem not covered by my wonderful BW book.
I started him on solids at 5 1/2 months. He is now 71/2 months and loves his food. He has three good meals a day. But now he doesn't seem to want any milk. I still breast feed in the morning and before bed which he sometimes is interested in and other times not so much and other times I think he is just messing me about. It's hard to tell how much he is getting at these feeds but I try to keep him on for 20mins each breast (mostly because he is a very distracted feeder and into everything even if im sitting in a quiet room). During the day I was giving him formula at 10:30 and 14:30. I dropped the 10:30 as he was barely drinking anything but now he is only having about 2-4oz at the 14:30 feed. The only time he drinks more is at the dream feed (but this is the one I want to cut out giving his age and my sleep) I am reluctant now though as this is the only time I feel he gets his milk.
Any advice on how to get him interested in his milk again as he is certainly not getting the recommended amount for an under 1 year old. I'm putting milk in his cereal but that still doesn't bump his intake to the recommended amount.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Many many thanks
