My 5 month old has decided she doesn't need/want boob anymore. I am absolutely gutted about it!

I am a tad confused to what I need to feed her though. The tin says 4 or 5 times 250mls for her age, but does she have solids on top of that? or are 2 of the milk feeds replaced by solids?

Today she BF (first thing), and had 100mls, 250mls, 180mls and 150 mls. She also had 2 solid feeds (each beng 3 ice cube sized). Does this sound like she is having enough fluidS? She is a big girl (8.2kg).

The tins are guidelines, Daniel never fed as much as was on the tin. If shes happy and full just go with whatever works

Willow decide at 8weeks that she didn't like boobie. She is now fully FF as of 10days ago, she is meant to have (according to the tin) 5 feeds of 200ml, but only manages 100-150mls 6times a day.
I would just go with the follow, as kebakat said, if she is full and happy, and sleeping okay your doing fine.

eta spelling

That sounds fine. Just make sure you offer milk first then solids

At 5 months I just offered Ty 4 or 5 x 250lm bottles a day - sometimes he would drink the whole 250mls at every feed and other times he would only take 80mls at each feed. Solid feeds are additional to the 4/5 bottles. Up until around 8 months you are supposed to give milk before solids You could always offer her water as well though if she is thirsty throughout the day... especially in this heat
