Baby refusing milk
We started weaning baby 6 days ago. So far we've only done pouches as we've been moving house at the same time and it's been chaos. She absolutely loves her food but yesterday and today she is hating her milk. We make 180ml bottles and we're lucky if she has 90ml of them. She's waking in the night starving and then drinking most of the bottle then but outside of that she's refusing. We've tried changing the teat, not using prep machine so it's warmer, spacing out feeds... it's getting really worrying and I'm scared she's not going to be eating enough as she was a preemie and her weight always concerns me. For the last few weeks as well she's been way more sicky than usual it started when she had her final vaccinations and it's very watery. Has anyone had anything similar?

This happened to us but later we found out because he was constipated. We think because his belly is still adjusting to solid and his poop was solid, but once it’s out, he eats normally again
This happened to us too but she was also full of cold at the same time it happened so I was unsure if it was that or the solids but she’s also back to drinking her full bottles 😊
Our little girl definitely prefers food over milk at the moment so I’ve just dropped her milk to 5 ounces (she was on 7) and she’s slowly drinking more again x

We went through this exact thing too. She just loved the taste of food so much that she didn't want the milk. We started about a month ago and shes back to drinking full bottles of milk. I cant say exactly how long it lasted but she was totally fine x
