[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP, you need to consult a medical professional. 12 oz a day is less than half what your baby needs. My 7 month old was previously tracking the 5th and then fell off the growth charts. Doc said not to give too much solids; milk has more calories. Food is just to develop his palette, so don't worry about solids for now. [b]Have you tried giving milk in a sippy cup[/b] or spoon-feeding milk? My baby doesn't have bottle aversion, but cheering and clapping and yelling "bravo" whenever he took a bite or drank from the sippy cup made him more enthusiastic to eat.[/quote] OP, don't give a sippy cup, those are bad. Go for a straw cup instead in a few months.[/quote] What are you talking about, PP? There is absolutely nothing "bad" about a sippy cup. Some kids like straw cups and some like sippy cups. And, neither is bad for an 8 month old. You're supposed to start introducing them around 6-8 months anyway. [/quote]
