usually, it's advisable to feed only 1 meal semisolids when the child is 6mths. At 7-8 mths when bb is more adapted to eating semisolids and likes it, you can introduce 1 more semisolid meal and drop one milk feed.

By 9mths, bb shld be comfortable with 2-3 meals of semisolids.

I can't help you with milk intake as my dd latches on demand.

my baby is 10.5 months now...her feeding schedule is:

7am: 240ml of milk
11.30am: porridge
3.30pm: 240ml of milk
7.30pm: porridge
11.30pm: 240ml of milk

and she sleeps through the night till 7am again...

her birth weight was 3.8kg and was drinking abt 110ml already at the end of her first month, but pd say it is ok as she is considered big and he is not too worried as she is still young, but recently i wonder if the above is too much........coz she is getting too heavy for me to carry....

Hi muumies, my first post here!

Im worried about my son's food and milk intake. He is 8 months old and about 7.5 kg
cAn i have some advice please?

his feeding schedule is as follows
6 am – Latch
9.30 am – 150 ml
12.30 pm – porridge with pureed veg
4 pm – 150 ml sometimes less
6 pm – cereal with pureed fruits
8 pm – latch
12 am – latch
When he latches, i dun think he drinks a lot, prob abt 120ml? cos when i pump out both sides usually abt 160 ml only and he sometimes only take one side..
He is drinking very little maybe total abt 600ml.. how can i increase his milk intake?

Is he eating too much solid food? during his lunch and dinner, the serving size is abt a bowl of the green pigeon bowl.
TIA!

i think his weight and feeding amount seems alright..

7.5kg at 8mth old is not those very very small baby. my hubby's fren's daughter was only 8kilo when she was 1yo. some babies are petite in size, but it is okay.

600ml of milk for a 8mth shd be okay. cos my pd told me b4, once a baby started 2 meals solid food, daily milk intake at 5-600ml is enough for them. some babies prefer solid over milk while some vice versa.

when ds was below 1yo, he only love milk. so we give him more milk, less solid. i think for your son's case, he might prefer solid over milk. but dont wry, since he can eat a pigeon bowl of food for each meal yet still can drink up to 600ml of milk, i think is very good alrdy =)

as for how to increase the milk intake, u can consider to increase ard 30ml for 1 feed 1st and see how it goes. but if you increase the milk, intake of solid food might drop, not to wry =)

Hi apollo,
thanks for your advice, i agree with you, think he prefers solids over milk..
just worried cos read that milk is still more nutritious and important for babies.. so stressed when he doesnt want to drink.. i filled up the bottle with more milk than he would take...
yah he is not those very very small but think his weight gain has slowed down a lot since six months when i started him on solids..
do you think i need to get him to eat more fruits? like feed him once more fruit puree in the morning?
TIA!
