Not drinking milk in the day

[katie_lou]

Ruby has decided that she no longer wants milk in the day and has now gone back to waking 3 times a night for a feed . She is fully weaned so is eating her food no problem but she is not interested in her milk at all .

Is there anyway I can try and change this routine she has fell into of not feeding in the day xxxx

H isnt interested so much in milk any more tbh, have you tried the follow on milk?? i heard it is less fillng so you might be able to get her to take a bit more?? Also does she drink much water?? H doesnt drink it so milk is still quite a drink for him so maybe try that?? Just a few ideas?

No I haven't , do you think it's worth trying that . She will have about 2oz of water throughout the day . Does your LO still wake in the nights for feeds xxx

 

[Mrs N]

No he feeds at 7.15is and then he doesnt want feeding till 5.30 in the morning. Maybe try not giving so much water and give her milk instead?? At least she will be taking some milk then? Also when do you give bottles? He never has one with a feed anymore really he has one at 5.30 one at about 2.30-3pm and one before bed as he wouldnt really take one when he was having a meal!!

Jax is the same. He has cut his milk right down now and will only have 3 x 5oz bottles at a push at about 9am, 1pm and 6.30pm during the day. He will only drink those if he is in a quiet room with NOTHING else going on around him if we are out or there is something going on he will not entertain it at all! But, he's still waking for milk at least twice a night and will drain 2 x 5oz bottles - last night those were at 12.10am and 2.35am, so really close together!!

Her bottle times vary as she isn't in a set routine , do u think it's best to give her milk before food or after x

I always make sure to feed L 30-45mins or so before a meal.
