solids + bottle feeding
hi everyone my daughter had just turned 6 months and started her weaning journey. however since she’s been eating 3 meals a day (breakfast, lunch + dinner) she isn’t fussed for her bottles, sometimes it’s a fight for her to drink it other she refuses to have any of her bottle wether it’s formula, water or juice. i have noticed she had two of her teeth coming thru and i don’t know if she’s being extra fussy cos of her teeth but she’s been going from around 6 bottles in a 24 hr period to around 2/3 maybe 4 at a push in a 24 hour period other than that she’s been her usual self (apart from teething pains and more sleepy but from my understanding that’s normal when teething) + plenty of wet/ dirty nappies. has anyone else had this when weaning and teething? i’ve tried contacting my family nurse but haven’t heard anything back from her.
thank you x

How many oz is she having per bottle? If she’s having 3 meals a day then she may be getting full from the food
How old is your LO? Mine didn't take formula so a bit different, but they shouldn't be on 3 meals until closer to 10-12 months, as milk should still be a priority. If they're still young, try 1-2 meals instead and see if it improves their milk intake. Usually teething makes them refuse solids and prefer milk instead of the opposite, so don't think it's to do with that (although every child is different!).
she’s 6 months but only reason she has three meals is cos she’s refusing her bottles, i always try her her bottle before solids but she’s just more interested in them instead
