Anyone still giving their baby formula?

Question

My daughter just can’t fully get the grasp of only solids. She loves purées and slowly liking more and more solids but I’m not confident enough yet she is getting enough from the food she is getting. So she is still on formula. Only about 12-15 oz a day. Anyone else in the same boat?

Answer

Keep in mind if they are getting everything they need from formula or too much milk they won’t eat much food because are full and their body has what it needs. I would suggest you start reducing the amount of formula some to see if they start eating more after a couple days.

Answer

I’m still giving formula as well. My sons on the smaller side already for his age and solids are a hit or miss depending on the day and his mood. When I asked the doctor at his one year checkup he said I could do whatever I felt was necessary. He has taken to milk well but only drinks about 10oz a day. So at night I’ve been doing the Gerber toddler formula about 6oz right before bed and I plan to continue this until I feel he eats enough solids and a good variety. The doctor also said I could do like the pedisure but I figured I’d hold off on that unless he starts losing weight.

Answer

My twin girls are getting about 20-22 ounces a day each still. We’ve tried BLW and purées but they’re not too keen on solids yet. My doctor basically gave us no advice on it but just said keep offering solids so we’ve slowly weaned them down from 32 ounces of breastmilk/formula combo to now whole milk/toddler formula combo (they have low iron so we don’t feel comfortable with all whole milk yet)

Answer

Yep!!! I am but my daughter is breast feed but same situation. She doesn't seem interested in many solids. I giver her the squeeze packs of baby food and she's nearly tired if those. She might eat french fries or chicken nuggets or crackers but when u feed her she usually just throws her food within 2 minutes

Answer

My little guy still drinks 20-25 oz of breastmilk. He hates food. He will eat purées but that’s it. Everything we try to feed him he throws in the floor or if we put it in his mouth he gags and spits it out. I don’t really know how to get him to eat food.

Answer

I still give formula, only cause my oldest couldn’t handle milk till she was 15 months so I plan on waiting that long with my 1 year old too

Answer

Yes.  My sons dr said no more formula only whole milk.  But like your little one hes not really 100% on solids so I feel he still needs the nutrients from some formula.  So I give him some formula each day.  Like you're about 12-15oz

Answer

My daughter eats 3 meals a day, snacks in between, drinks about 12 oz of water, and about 21 oz of whole milk. Just like you, I was nervous about discontinuing breastmilk. I thought she would never eat. I cut back slowly every week and she caught the hang of eating solids. Vegetables are still a hit or miss though.

Answer

Mine has gotten good with solids, but she doesn’t like whole milk. The second she realizes that is what she is drinking she spits it out. I just cut her back to nursing 2x per day (morning and night) but am reluctant to cut back any more. Her doctor said she needed milk but she just doesn’t like it no matter how I present it 🤷🏻‍♀️
