6 month old 15oz milk a day.....
in Baby
My LO has never been a great milk drinker but used to easily take 24-28oz milk a day spread over 4 feeds
8am
12noon
3.30pm
6.30pm
but in the last week he has been taking approx 2-3oz at each feed (except bedtime when he will quite happily finish a 7 or even 8 oz bottle!)
We are doing BLW so its not as if he is eating a lot of food...he does seem to enjoy weetabix and he uses hands whilst i spoon some in! he also likes yoghurt so in desperation i have been giving him some of this before his bath as i am panicking that he is not drinking enough, he seems to enjoy water in his beaker but is just refusing milk once he has had 2 oz!
Any ideas?

Re the constipation, it might be he's feeling a bit full and doesn't really fancy his milk, I think very diluted orange or prune juice can be good for that.

If he is a bit constipated though that might effect his milk intake. Freshly squeezed orange juice diluted with water is supposed to help.
Not much help really, but didn't want to read and run. You are not alone xx
