Have just returned from DDs 8 month check where hv advised formula fed DD is having far too much milk for her age (4-5 bottles often including a bottle through the night) and that I should do controlled crying at night to stop the night bottle. She said because she is having so much milk still she can't be eating enough solids to get a healthy varied diet.
I thought that before 1 milk was supposed to be their main source of nutrition? I am giving DD 3 healthy meals per day and she's stayed on the 50th centile since she was 4 weeks old. HV also measured her length and said DD is too light for her length (75th centile).
I don't know what I'm asking really, just feel a bit rubbish now. I thought I was doing ok (first time parent) but she made me feel like I am doing everything wrong and I don't have lots of confidence in myself at the best of times!
