Feeding schedule

My little girl is having 4/5 bottles of 7oz a day, but that’s because she’s not really eating any solids. If she’s gaining weight and happy and eating solids I don’t see why it should be a problem!

I think the recommendation is 600ml (roughly 21/22oz) from the NHS guidelines as before 1 years old it should still be their main source of vitamins etc however every baby is different so I would just keep an eye and make sure she is gaining weight

Thank you guys! It’s only been the last couple of days so hard to judge by weight yet. I’m going to keep an eye on her and try offer another bottle just incase :)) x

You could include formula/breastmilk in her breakfast. I make his breakfast with 5oz of formula and he always has it all,first breastfeeds and then has a 6oz bottle at around 11.30. Only those 3 times early in the day takes away a lot of pressure from the rest of our day. Today's he's also breastfed at 3.30 but since has refused to drink up more. He has had fruit and chicken soup with orzo pasta. He's getting over his first cold and is still a bit snotty. Gets worse later in the day, so I think that's why... Every day is different. My suggestion, as they do recommend a certain intake, is just to try and add milk somehow to the solid (breakfast and fruity puree probably being the easiest way)

You could try and cut down slightly on the amount of food offered.. if taking less than 500ml formula worth speaking to HV as they need a multivitamin in that case :) x

If it’s only been a few days could they be teething or under the weather? The heat puts my girl off her milk too

They advise offering milk before food which might help x

see my health visitor and nhs website are saying good before milk.. hence why she’s just filling up on food 😂 I think I’m going to try add an extra bottle in and shift her meals around a bit to see if I can have the best of both worlds without disrupting her too much x
