milk consumption whilst weaning?

[charlottefran]

my baby is nearly 7 months and we have been weaning for about a month and a half she is a good eater and is on three meals a day and snacks and started showing signs of cutting down milk even only had three bottles on a couple of days. But now is wanting more again anyone else experienced this going back up on milk? she will have five bottles plus food don't really want to stop her having it if she needs it but im thinking she probably doesnt with all that food as well any ideas?

When Anna was on milk only til 6 months, she never took a huge amount of milk - max of about 25oz a day. Now she is on 3 meals and she still takes around 22oz a day so she hasnt really dropped much milk either.

I just give her what she wants and it sounds like you do that too

Lucas is the same. Has 3 meals, usually an afters following his tea and some finger food snacks but still wants 4 bottles and has about 20-24 oz a day. He has water too.

Did u try offering her water? she might be thristy. Omar takes 3 bottles since he was 6.5 mnths. It varies between 15-20 oz. They need around 18-21 oz at this age but if she wants more there is no harm hun. xx
