6.5 month old eating less

tracyl0826

My LO is 6.5 months old has started eating less breastmilk for the past few weeks.  He has just started solids.  He's currently not even eating 1tbsp of solids per day, so I don't think that is impacting his appetite.  He seems to be eating less often (usually every 4 hours, compared to every 3 hours previously).  Also, when he eats, he's eating less.  He used to drink a 4oz bottle with the nanny each morning, now he typically only drinks 3oz.  When I breastfeed him, he will only eat from one side...and maybe a tiny bit from the second side, whereas he used to eat a decent amount from both sides.  He did start waking to eat twice in the night - where before he would eat only once.  Has anyone else's LO done this?  I'm not sure how to get him to eat more during the day, and hopefully cut out one of the night feedings...

Also, just to mention - he weighs 19lbs, so he's certainly not underweight!

No advice for getting him to eat more during the day, but my LO who is 6.5 mo too is doing a similar thing.  He used to eat 4 6oz bottles at daycare and now he is drinking about 5oz and 3 bottles.  He also recently started solids but there is no way that he is getting more than 1 Tbsp.  He gets more in his hair than in his mouth.  I think he is supposed to become more efficient at digestion so this may be it?
