9 month old refusing milk
in Baby
Hello everyone,
I'm having a bit of an issue with my 9 month old, he is refusing his milk...
He was exclusively breastfed up until 6 months, when i started introducing solids. We moved very quickly with the solids and within weeks was on 3 meals a day and had dropped all his day time feeds. So only having a breast feed at bedtime (7.00) and first thing in the morning (7.00).
A few days ago he just flattly refused his bedtime and morning feed and hasn't had any milk feeds all day.
I've spoken to the HV and she seems to think that he might just be getting enough during the day. But, after speaking to friends and family they seem to think that it's not right for him not to have any milk feeds at all.
Please help.... what would you do???

Does anyone know how much calcium a baby actually needs?? I know they should have about a pint of milk a day, but what does that equate to in calcium? I'm just not sure he's getting enough....
For breakfast he has 1 1/2 wheatabix with full fat cows milk (about 6oz) plus a slice of toast.
For lunch he has a hot meal (eg. spag bol) which i put a good spoonful of greek yogurt in, plus a put (eg. pureed apple and custard)
For tea he has a selection of finger food (eg. dairylea sandwich, tomatoes, raisins) plus a fromage frais yogurt.
Does this sound like enough... i'm not sure??
