My DS is 7 1/2 months old, he isnt breastfed but has 210ml in the morning which includes the milk in his breakfast, 180ml after his lunchtime nap and 210ml before bed.
im not sure whether they need more if breastfed but that sounds ok to me...
My little man started solids at 6 months.
He is exclusively breast fed. I went back to work when he was around 3 months and we had no major issues with the bottle (we had to switch tommee tippe which he preferred to Avent.)
However, once he turned 7 months, he completely refuses thie bottle. We tried putting on a faster flow teat, but he still pushes it away. He nurses before I go to work at 8:30 and nurses atleast 4-5 times when I get home at 6:00.
I know milk is supposed to be their primary source of nutrition, and am worried he isn't getting enough. We do mix some of the milk in his cereals.. But all in.. He has around 5 ounces while I'm away.. Versus around 12 before..
Has anyone else gone through this?? Help!
They say it could be teething... Or he's reverse cycling... I'm about to switch to formula just to see if that would work.. Although I want to nurse him for atleast a year
