Now she wants food mostly!

My DD was taking around 24oz of bm a day and since we started food,blw and soft food, she WANTS to eat over consume bm... Yesterday I think she had around 18 oz and obviously that's still primarily her main intake, but seems like alot less just because I'm not used to it...
I'm left freezing more than I'm used to which I don't mind but since bm should be her primary food source I'm just questioning if anyone else here has found that their lo loves eating so much that their bottles are not being emptied??
Thank you :

we have reflux, and still throw up a lot (he is in the 4th percentile for weight) so his pedi suggested giving the bottle (ff) of 6 oz, then do the solids about 30 min later. That way he still gets all of the nutrition from that, and not filling up on the solids just yet...

but, before we switched it to that way... he would get PO'd when he would finish his sweet potatoes or brussel sprouts, even though I would show him the empty bowl lol

At her age, she shouldn't be dropping feedings. Make sure she nurses before she eats solids. How many meals is she getting and how much food?

I FF now, but yes we are going through the same thing. I have to really push the bottles. I feed her a bottle first (which is a struggle at times!) then give solids. She is only getting 2-3oz of solids per day.

This. If it gets to a point where her milk consumption drops even more, cut out a solid feeding.

I do t measure but I do give her a couple slices of pears or some equivalent in the morning and a piece of toast she eats about half then at dinner I'd say she gets a couple oz of whatever I cook. She loves all real food as in food that I cook. It's wildly adorable but I will watch to make sure she doesn't drop too much,,, besides, I really don't have any reason to be sticking up the freezer. I rarely am away from my littles.
