My son is just coming up for 17 weeks and I've been giving him some food as he wasn't lasting with just milk and he's over 17lb. My HV said not to start until 6 months or drinking a full 8oz bottle which he was but she said not to start 2 and a half years ago with my daughter I was told to start at 17 weeks which I found was perfect for her. Anyway now I'm giving him meals he's not that interested in his milk as much and only having about 4oz out if bottle but he will take pretty much it all when he gets up the next morning. So I'm really just looking for advise as I still want him to have milk as I know he's not nearly ready for cows milk but worried he's not getting enough? But seems happy enough and piling on the weight. I also tried not giving him food and just the milk but he wasn't any different he just wants to eat?
