Not drinking much milk.. _
PostSubject: Not drinking much milk..   Not drinking much milk.. EmptySat Mar 24, 2012 10:17 pm

Noah's 8 months now, has been on 3 meals a day for a over a month, but just this last week he's really not interested in milk. He want to bf, but only drinks for a minute or two on each side. He drinks little bits of water on and off from a cup or bottle, but won't drink a full bottle (he really doesn't like formula milk either)

He's having a morning bf+breakfast, mid morning bf, lunch, mid pm bf, dinner, bedtime bf then a dream feed before i go to bed and sometime a 4/5am feed too. Do i need to cut anything down or is just let him carry on like this?

Not sure tbh but you could always experiment. At this age Imogen was at nursery full time so it was hard to know what size portions she was eating, but she was having a boob in a morning, 3 bottles of about 4-5oz ebm, an after work and a bedtime boob too - so a lot more than Noah's having. She was also having a morning snack - usually toast which, in the beginning at least, wasn't so much eaten as returned to dough! - then a lunch which would be a pureed version of whatever the bigger kids were having, and dinner in a similar vein.

This doesn't mean either way is right or wrong, cos as you know there are no rules on this. I would have thought he maybe needs a bit more calcium because he's still growing - bone development and all that, but if he has a lot of yoghurt and cheese, these count as milk too.

You could try experimenting with different portion sizes and timing etc to see if that encourages him to have more milk, but it could be that he's ready to leave the booby?

Sorry that's in no way helpful, but possibly a little reassuring?
