Less formula after solids?

Lindsey7521 · June 2010

Since about a week after we started solids, I've noticed that B doesnt always finish her bottles.

Some days she does, but yesterday she only drank 4oz out of 8 from her morning bottle, and then her 6:30pm bottle she left about 3oz in it. She went to bed fine and woke up fine, wasnt even hungry yet. So I warmed up her bottle and daycare gave it to her when we I dropped her off. She does have about 3.5 oz of veggies and oatmeal mixed together at 5:30, but I would think after not eating for 12 hours she'd be starving! I'm not really worried, shes still getting anywhere from 25 to 32 oz of formula a day. Just wondering if anyone elses baby has been doing this too. Thanks!

Yes, Leighton has recently started this as well. Some bottles she will drink all of but some she will only take 4 or so ounces out of. I assume it's because of the solids because it just started when I started feeding her more solids during the day. But, she doesn't act like she's hungry any sooner, she is going about 4 hours now between bottles instead of 3.

Allie still eats the same, but at around 6 months she started eating much less in the morning, only 3-4 ounces, even though she sleeps 12 hours straight. I know you're supposed to give solids after a bottle, not before, but Allie only eats 32-34 ounces too and she's a big girl! (20lbs and 28.5 inches)

Yep, very normal! I nurse but she dropped a daily sesson when she started on solid. She takes 6oz bottles when I'm at work so I'm assuming she's getting 25-30 oz daily. And she's a big girl so I'm not worried about it!
