Feeding to sleep - bad idea??

I’m surprised you’ve been advised to give her 3 meals a day at her age. Like has said, milk is much more important at this age. Maybe she’s getting too full from her solids and hence that’s why she won’t take milk? Idk. Maybe get a second opinion? I personally would find another way to get her to drink milk

I spoken to 3 different health visitors and they have all said the same. She was only having 1 sometimes 2 meals a day, would be very hungry and just refuse her milk. I have tried so many different bottles and environments but she just pushes it away. The other day she went 12 hours without any milk or food. She happily drinks water but the minute she knows it’s milk she flat out refuses to have it. Unless she is sleepy. Then I don’t think she cares

Ah right ok. I guess if they’ve given you that advice, talk to them about the milk to sleep situation and see what they say x

I would keep giving it through the night. She clearly needs the milk/nutrients and unfortunately if it’s the only way for her to get it, that’s what you’re going to have to do x

yes that’s what I think I will have to do. Although last night she woke twice and would only take 2oz each time before pushing it away. She just flat out does not want her milk anymore.

If she doesn’t want her milk then I think you’re doing the right think giving her three meals a day and offering milk. Some babies just go off it earlier xxx

Ah that is really hard! From what I’ve read it’s really important that you keep giving it! As said above, often health visitors get it wrong about feeding as they’re not required to stay up to date with feeding advice 🤯
