Baby doesn’t want his milk

My little boy just isn’t interested in his milk anymore since having food, the only full bottle he will drink is when he wakes up which is 7oz, he has breakfast and dinner haven’t started giving him tea yet, but I’m just a bit worried as he used to love his milk so much and has now suddenly gone off it. He also drinks water throughout the day but that isn’t a lot either as it seems to take his breath away a little bit when he’s drinking it. Anyone else experienced the same thing ??

My 7 month old daughter as been exactly the same will have 7oz first thing in the morning then breakfast dinner and then another 7oz but sometimes less she doesn’t always drink the full 7 out of that 1 and then she will have snacks in the day and 1 more 7/8oz before bed x

Ah okay, glad to no it’s not just him, I think I worry more because that’s all he used to want even over food. I usually offer him 2x 5oz through the day but today he has had 2.5oz out of that and just wants food so I will offer him a 7oz later and see how we go I think x

My boy is the same at the minute 7oz in a morning at wake up 7oz before bed and maybe 3/4 oz through the day with sips of water not aloy though x

Yeah that’s the exact same as my little boy, he’s got so much better with drinking water but it really takes his breath away if he gulps to much xx

@Mollie I’ve found when he’s having food I add half oz of water into his meals when mushing them up so that even if he doesn’t optionally chose to drink it he’s still had a slight water intake Xxx

Yeah that’s a good idea, I’ll do that with his food tomorrow xx

My daughter was exactly the same used 2 love her milk and would have 5/6 bottles a day now she only has about 3 sometimes 4 but some she will only have about 3oz out of worries me aswell but it is quite normal when they start food my first daughter who is now 4 was only having 1 bottle when she was 9 months old then completely went off it x

@Abby I will try that aswell as my daughter won’t drink water also seems 2 take her breath away when she takes a sip of it x

My daughter has water in her porridge in the morning for breakfast but won’t drink it out her bottle x

I didn’t even think about the water I use for his porridge lol so there’s that too🤣. Yeah that’s the same with mine he was loving his bottles the HV has told me he should only be on 3 a day now but he doesn’t even drink that xxx

My 7 month was like this but then went back to his milk I think he was teething and bit snotty and found it hard drinking as couldn’t breath through his nose x

@Zoe yes my daughter is teething her 2 bottom teeth have cut through the gums and she’s also snotty so that might be why x

@Mollie today she’s had two 7oz bottles one 3oz bottle and just had a 5oz bottle now she’s in bed sleeping x

It's natural for them to drop a little milk once starting solids. My little man had 5 bottles a day at about 210/7oz. Now he has 2 meals, usually puree or porridge with puree in and 3 maybe 4 bottles but doesn't finish them anymore. The porridge he has is made with milk so he's still getting some that way.
