BLW w or without formula?

Question

I think that's what it is but I haven't fed her much out of the ordinary.. but when you began it do you still do bottles or breastfeeding with it? Do you cut it out or in half?
My daughter is 7 month btw (8 in 5 days😭).

Answer

Not sure how old your baby is. Babies get their nutrients from formula/breast milk. Food before they are a year old is more for social, mental, and motor development and less for nutrition. For my 8 month old daughter, I nurse her before she eats any food. Today we shared a pear. I don’t want her filling her tummy on a pear when the pear won’t give her the nutrients and calories she needs.

Answer

They still need breastmilk or formula until 1- that's where their nutrition and hydration comes from! They should still be getting 24-30oz a day, then the food goes on top of that. If you're offering too many solids and they aren't getting at least 24oz of formula or breastmilk a day, then cut back on the solids until you find the best balance. My LO does well with 2 meals per day spaced in between her bottles.

Answer

It's a struggle lately for my daughter to eat bottles or food. Who knows anymore... lmao.

Answer

My son eats 2x a day (1container of baby food per serving) he has (maybe) 2 bottles 6 oz bottles and breastfeeds(majority) at night

Answer

We still do as much formula as she wants. Usually around 20-24 oz. we've tried backing off solids to see if she'd take more formula and it hasn't made a difference. Most days she's around 20 oz. and we just upped it to two meals per day as well. We still go by signals though and follow her lead

Answer

Food before one is just for fun! If their solids increase then their formula/breastmilk intake might decrease, but that’s where their nutrition comes from so that is still of utmost importance until they are at least 1 yr

Answer

I’m still giving my daughter her normal amount of formula. About 8 oz every 4 hours. And three times a day we try some foods. She is NOT a good eater so we have to keep the bottles for now.
