Should I decrease the amount of solids to see if she increases her commercial formula intake?
31-year-old woman
Hello,
My 9 month old baby has greatly decreased her intake of commercial formula since she has increased her intake of solids. She has gone from an average of 750 ml per day to 450 ml per day. I was told that commercial formula was still the main food even after the introduction of solids until 1 year of age but my baby no longer wants to drink her milk. She is eating three meals a day and eating good amounts.

Hello Mrs.,
Indeed it is better to give infant formula. The meals are only a "bonus".
Does your child wet and soil his diaper regularly? How would you describe his general condition?

Yes, she has regular bowel movements and peeing. Her general condition seems normal. We always give the formula before meals but she takes very little except in the morning when she wakes up.

Thanks for the feedback! If she is soiling and wetting her diaper and the urine is not dark, then rest assured she is drinking as needed :)
I will be available if there is anything!
