More solids?

438Suburbia · October 2011

When I picked M up from daycare they asked me if I could bring more solids for him because when they feed him and it's all gone he cries.

I feel like I already give him more than what our doc recommends. They want to make sure he is drinking at least 24 ounces of milk a day, most of the time he does this.

WWYD? Give them more solids or tell them to offer more milk?

I would start working more solids in if he seems like he "needs" it.. as long as he's still getting that 24oz's of milk in, I definitely dont think that at his age I'd try to fill him up with more milk.

Okay this is what I was wondering, at what age do you start offering more food than milk?

Our pedi said that under the age of 1: as long as LO was consuming 24+ oz of milk/day and turning away food when full (pushing the spoon away, not opening his mouth) he could have a balanced diet of solids as needed, no max/minimum.

C never did hit the 24 oz. of milk a day....even when that was all that he was on. Our pedi told us that anything close to that was fine 18 - 20'ish was ok. Each kid is different.

Evan wasn't either. I had to push to get him to drink that. He's still not a big milk drinker.

I agree with PP, I'd offer more if he's still taking 24 oz and seems hungry. He'll let you know when he's full
