I have a 6 month old baby girl who has been exclusively breast fed. She is weaned and eating solids (fruit, vegetables, yoghurts etc) but refuses to take milk (expressed or formula) out of a bottle, cup or mixed with baby rice or in food.
She is at a childminders 8 - 6 5 days a week (first week this week) and the childminder has tried to get her to take milk every day, but she just pushes it away or spits it out.
If you mix milk with her solids she refuses to eat her solids, and has always hated baby rice & milk.
So she is only getting milk from me once in the morning at 7am, and then is feeding at 6pm, 8pm and then about twice in the night (she was always feeding once in the night before she stopped getting milk in the day).
I tried to give her milk before she went to the childminder but she refused. Has anybody got any ideas - or do you know if it is ok that she has no milk all day. She isnt really taking that much water either (some in the food) but maybe only 1oz apart from that in a cup.
Please help
