Been weaning Olivia since she was 17wks...is 6 mths old this wk.

Now on
08:00: 8oz (cow & gate stage 2 hungrier baby)then hour after porridge
12:00: 8oz then hour after purred veg
16:00: 8 oz then hour after ourred chik n sweet pot
20:00 8oz then bed

Shud i give solids then milk? Seems like I'm always feeding her

Was looking at chaging to cow n gate 6mth + formula, what others doing???

Once Ruby was eating 3 meals a day HV told me to cut down her milk to between 18 and 20oz a day...so maybe you could try giving her lunch (solids) at 12 and then the bottle after if she still wants it. Maybe same at tea time.

Oh and you don't need to give follow on milk, it's not necessary.
