6 month old refusing milk when started weaning
Can anybody tell me if they have had a similar experience.
I keep reading that others lo are taking 7-8 oz milk per feed, and I'm worried as my lo will only take 4- 5 oz per feed, then gets angry if I try to make him have more. He is an absolute gannet for his food, and eats everything I give him, he has never drank all that much milk, but I think the guldelines say they still need 18-20oz milk per day, even at 7 - 9 months. Even if I try to reduce his food he still wont have more milk, so I just make sure he isn't hungry.
Am worried he isn't getting all the nutrients he needs, due to lack of interest in milk. Can anyone help or advise on this?

All his meals are homemade, he has fish, chicken and all vegetables, he loves them all. Was just worried he wasn't getting enough milk. But I suppose his food intake will make up for it. x
