Although I’m no health professional and I know they say to drop solids till they are drinking the right amount of formula but I personally think that it a backwards way of attempting to wean. My view on it is… we as adults wouldn’t continue to drink something that fills up and be eating 3 meals a day at the same time, so as long as their food is nutritious then I don’t see why you would force them to drink their milk alongside this.
I personally got fed up of wasting milk and took note of the bottles that my little one was refusing over a few days and then began to drop them gradually. If I think that she is overly hungry then I will offer her milk but that hasn’t happened yet. I just make sure that I offer her water throughout the day so that she isn’t dehydrated.
Like I said I’m no health professional so I’m not saying it’s the right way but my opinion!

Twins almost 8 months 😊

6am - wake up
7am - 7oz bottles
8am - breakfast, normally porridge with fruit puree mixed in
10am ish - nap 30-45 minutes
11am - 7oz bottles
12 - lunch yogurt/finger foods
Nap depending and if we're home or out and about. Home they'll sleep for 30-45 minutes if we're out they'll sleep for a few hours in their pram 😃
3pm - 7oz bottles
4pm - tea, normally an Ella's kitchen pouch but hubby is going to start blitzing what we have for tea 😊
6:15 bath, takes a little longer with two 🤣
6:45/7pm - 8oz bottles and bed 🥰

Thinking we may move tea to 5:5:30 and push bedtime back a little to 7:30 as they're starting to fuss as bedtime like they're not tired yet 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Lauren I have this issue with one of my twins, she much prefers food and no matter how long I leave between bottle and meal she sometimes point blank refuses her bottle or drinks 1oz 🤷🏼‍♀️ I still offer her bottles, I make one for her sister anyway, as some days she likes to stock up and drink everything 🤣 but some days she's just not bothered 🤣 x
