Baby not drinking formula
Baby has gone off formula but is eating solids fine but I’m trying to give solids that I can mix with her formula to get extra oz into her
She only had 17oz in 24 hours yesterday and so far today she has had 9oz since 7am it’s now 3pm
The GP said offer little and often she usually goes 4 hours between feeds so I have tried offering after 3 hours instead and has only had 1oz I don’t know what else I can do does anyone have any advice please?

Formula is still most important until age 1. Maybe cut back on solids or make the meals slightly smaller. You can do a dream feed in the night before you go to bed, if you don’t already. I find my LO takes around 4oz with a dreamfeed.
Offering bottles immediately after naps always tends to help my girl too. Hope this helps
I don’t know what to do though because literally won’t drink her milk only 3oz max she usually has 6/7oz I’m offering solids with formula mixed in because I want her to have something☹️ Iv never dream fed x
At our review a health visitor told us that they’re supposed to have about 500 ml per day, which is about 16 oz. I asked, as I was also worried that my boy wasn’t getting enough.
My little boy who turned 9 months old yesterday only takes about 3x 5oz bottles a day. He sleeps 13 hours 6:00pm-7:00am, has some breakfast at 7:30am, a 5oz bottle at 8:00, then his dinner at 12:30, 5oz bottle at 1 and then his tea at 5:00 and his bottle at 6:00. I’ve added the baby milk with his food as he loves his food but I want him to have some more milk
