Advice needed Olivia (6mths + 1 wk) has 3 meals a day & 8oz formula b4 each meal (plus 8oz bedtime feed) When did others drop their formula intake?  Also still unsure as to when to start increasing solids & de-creasing formlua? Give solids first then formula?

| Mum (Mom) BnB Addict  Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: South Yorkshire Posts: 5,667 | We stopped the dreamfeed when connah was 6 months like Claire just to see if he would miss it and he was fine...then we put his feeds down to 6oz before breakfast,5oz before lunch and dinner and 6oz before bed. Im thinking of putting all his feeds down to 5oz in the next week or so though as Connah is taking more food. If i didnt decrease his feeds a little he would happily guzzle the same amount of milk aswel as 3 meals Do what you think is best hun and start small by taking off a few oz if you think your LO is ready  x |

I have been decreasing an oz off every feed but maybe it would be better for him to drop a whole feed? Would just like your view/opinion  |

So she now has 20oz per day plus 3 meals. It sounds like Connah is like Ruby with milk - would take it no matter what solids had been eaten! | |
