Hi there,
I have posted this in the weaning and nutrition forum too, but so many more mums hang out here in baby club so thought I will post it here too.
My twins (6.5 months) are on 3 meals a day now and have some dried apples and mango for snacks, sometimes the heinz baby biscuits. they hardly drink any water or diluted juice but refuse their bottles of formula. I have tried sippy cups and soft spout cups, also straws but they just don't really like drinking unless it is hot outside.
In the morning they have about 4-5oz each and in the evening, if lucky, they drink 6oz. I force down 3oz around 11.30 before they have their lunch. for me it works by switching the tv on so they just watch and drink without really noticing it.
so on a good day they drink about 16oz and on a normal day only 14oz.
Is that a reason to worry??
I haven't talked to my GP yet, I will call the HV on monday if they don't take any more in.
Thanks for any advice!
