We started my 7.5 mo on solids at 6 months. She has taken to them very well. However, I am concerned as I'm not sure if she is getting enough milk. I typically nurse her once in the morning, then she gets 2 6ounce bottles of breastmilk/formula during the day while I'm at work, and then I try to nurse her at night before she goes to bed. So four milk feeds a day. She does not really wake for milk at night anymore. She's also been getting three solid meals, an hour after each time she gets milk. Lately though she has been refusing to nurse and take some of her bottles - it takes up to an hour of taking lots of breaks before she'll finish most of her milk. As for the nursing, I'm not sure how much she gets at each feeding but she nurses for literally maybe a minute or two sometimes and then just refuses to take anymore.
After starting solids, some babies drop a milk feed / bottle, right? Is this ok? I'm trying to figure out how to tweak her routine so that we can at least get some good nursing sessions in - I'd prefer to keep those and drop a bottle if possible. This is the EASY we aim for and usually get, all except for the full milk feeds, that is.
