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). ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| 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  ------------- http://lilypie.com">
