Weaning......

Abi • 22- Mommy to baby Hugo 06.03.19👶🏻💙

Hi all,

My almost 6 month old started weaning a few weeks ago (told by doctor as he is a big baby and weighing 23 pounds already and was taking 9oz every 3 hours!)

I’m a bit confused as to what to do, his current routine is......

7am- 8oz bottle

10am- porridge

1pm- veg purée followed by a snack or fruit purée

2pm- offer him his 8oz bottle but only really drinks 5oz

5pm- veg purée followed by fruit purée or mashed banana with yogurt

7pm- 8oz bottle (only usually has 6oz)

My question is do I drop the afternoon bottle as he isn’t very interested in it and usually brings most back up as I think he is full but I read he should still be having at least 16oz milk a day......

Just want to make sure he is having enough milk as he is always turning away the water I offer him....
