When Freya is well, she takes roughly the following bottles
7am - 8oz
11am - 6-7
3pm - 6
7pm - 6-7oz
now that isnt a lot of milk for a nearly 7mnth old baby.
I have been giving her veggies at 12pm, and a fromage frais around 5pm.
I tried giving her some dinner at 5pm instead of just the fromage frais, but she only takes 4oz from her bedtime bottle then.
so to progress with the weaning (which will help her reflux) I thought about doing the following
7am - 8oz
9am - bowl porridge (ellas, made with 2oz baby milk)
11am - offer 8oz bottle (would prob only take 6oz)
1pm - lunch, fruit or some veggies
4pm - Dinner of veggies etc
7pm - offer 8oz bottle (prob take 6oz again)
this would get us up to 3 meals a day?
or should I just carry on as is, giving her lunch only and hope her appetite increases? should it increase?
its just the more food she eats, the less milk she wants. And she doesnt have a lot of milk as it is. On bad days it can be as little as 9oz.
what do you think? I just feel we are getting nowhere fast with the weaning
