At the moment between 3-5 during the day + several at night. She's been feeding more and more at night lately, so I'm considering upping the daytime feeds again. (I better not tell plunket    ).
She doesn't have big feeds, but she's always been a snacker.

Oh Tysmummy, that must be worrying when she loses weight.

I'm pretty sure that BM doesn't lose any of it's nutritional value after 1. ]]> Sun, 09 May 2010 22:42:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33205&PID=1021054&title=not-eating-solids-or-drinking#1021054 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33205&PID=1020799&title=not-eating-solids-or-drinking#1020799 Author: jessiesmum

Poor you - feeding issues are really stressful. It sounds like she is making up for it at night.

I have found that when DD has had fussy stages I changed how I was feeding her - made her food more chunky or changed what she was eating. Often her fussy stages are triggered by eating more salty or sugary foods. It's almost like they de-sensitise her taste buds.

The other thing is - does she eat with you and/or other children? Sometimes watching others helps. How about things like banana smoothies (ie a banana whizzed up with milk/formula)?

Ella1 - how many is too many? I was still giving her about 4 BFs a day at one.]]> Sun, 09 May 2010 16:46:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33205&PID=1020799&title=not-eating-solids-or-drinking#1020799 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33205&PID=1019852&title=not-eating-solids-or-drinking#1019852 Author: TysMummy

My DD has never been a big eater, and Plunket told me she still has to many BFs for her age. But she asks for BFs, and at least that way I know she still gets what she needs.
It is only in the last few weeks that her appetite has picked up, and some days (not every day mind you) she will suddenly eat heaps.

I'm probably not much help.
But why would solids be better than BFs? It seems to be a plunket belief, but I have read books that state that at this age BM is still the most important food, and all solids are just play.

DD was the same, she never really took to solids and would only eat finger foods ( mostly grated cheese and banana) till she was about 10 mnths and still isn't the best eater. Have you tried BF during the day ?

All I can think of is, are you giving her fingers foods? I know my DS1 went through a stage of only wanting to feed himself (but I can't remember what that age was) Also, have you tired her on a cup or cup with a straw?

Sorry, I probably not much help. Good luck!]]> Mon, 03 May 2010 11:31:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33205&PID=1014258&title=not-eating-solids-or-drinking#1014258 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33205&PID=1014070&title=not-eating-solids-or-drinking#1014070 Author: TysMummy
