Another eating question...

Avery isn't the best eater in the world. It's hit or miss each day with her. I haven't been worried before because I know she has my breast milk to "fall back on". But now that I am wanting to cut out a pump session we are going to have to start using WCM. Will the WCM substitute calories like my BM? That is, if she decides she would rather drink her calories that day instead of eat them?

Another thing, she has gotten to where she will only eat blueberries and grapes. I try giving her other things but she will eat only those two things and throw everything else off the tray. If I only give her other things to eat, she will just throw everything off the tray.

Does she still need my BM that much and am I being selfish because I am ready to put an end to the pumping? If we were feeding from the tap I would be fine. I am just SO TIRED of pumping. 

Anyways, back to the reason for the post, will she be okay on those days she doesn't eat but will still drink WCM?

    How much WCM are you going to give her daily? LO only gets 16 oz a day. He stays constipated a lot and his pedi said anymore than that is going to make it a lot worse. So for us eating his meals is very important since we don't have the milk to fall back on.

    I forgot that WCM can have this effect. 

    She drinks sometimes up to 32 ozs of BM a day.
