Baby not taking milk?

Question

Is anybody else having trouble getting their 6 month old to take milk? He's only had 7 oz all day and refuses the milk every time I offer.  It's now almost 10 pm! He's fed mostly formula and just the little bit of breastmilk I get from pumping. He has preferred solids over milk for about 2 weeks now. How many oz should they be having at this point? On a good day he'll have about 25 oz and that includes 2 night feedings.

Answer

My daughter has been doing the same thing - hates eating. I think hers is from her teeth coming through.

Answer

My little guy is the same way.

Some days he'll have 36ozs of breastmilk/formula a day with solids, other days he'll only drink 24ozs with solids.  I was extremely worried about it at first, but my pediatrician reassured me that it's considered quite normal at this stage.  As long as baby is happy and healthy, you shouldn't worry at all.  Also, when my son was teething, he barely ate at all!  Could this be the case with you little one?

Answer

Could be teething.
