My DD is 8.5 months and I have always demand fed. She has always had a great appetite. She is now on 3 solid meals a day and has been for 2 months. However in the last week she only seems interested in the breast when she first wakes up. After that she hardly takes any milk. Because she is allergic to cows milk my milk is her main source of calcium and I am worried she isn't getting enough.
Her typical day at the mo is:
6am full BF from both sides
7am banana and toast plus 25ml water
12 noon avocado on toast and fruit for desert plus 25ml water
12.30 very half hearted BF before nap (offered rather than demanded and used more as a comfort than a feed)
3.30 pm rice cakes and 25ml water
5.45pm salmon steak, pasta pesto and broccoli plus 30ml water
7pm half BF before bed.
Thats not much milk is it? She is happy and lively though and very chubby. Should I try and get her to drink more?
