So ever since Eliana started almond milk she would prefer to drink milk over eating.. She still eats but not like she used to, so while I had Josiah at the doctor yesterday I asked their doctor what she would recommend.. She told me to cut her milk intake in half and sometimes I "just have to be hard and just let her get hungry without just giving a bottle each time she wants it" while I agree with this to an extent I don't at the same time! On one hand I don't want my baby setting here crying for a bottle because she's hungry and that's all she wants but on the other hand I want her to eat food too cause she's lost a little weight.. She went from eating ALL THE TIME to only taking a couple bites here and there, have any of you ladies ever went through this with a almost 11 month old??

I give her vitamin drops every morning.. Her doctor recommended it once she stopped taking formula! I've tried mixing her formula in with the almond milk and she can taste the difference I guess and she won't drink it.. Her doctor is just concerned with her not eating like she was because she's lost some weight

she needs more than Vitamin D if she’s not drinking formula. I highly suggest a nutritionist if things are that bad. Of course she’s losing weight because she’s not getting what she needs from food, not because of a lack of intake. Her body cannot get what it needs from solids.

My oldest was like this and still acts like this some times. It is hard, i know but if i didnt refuse him his milk when he needed to eat then he never would have ate.. I would only give him his cup only filled half way with milk rather than it be full.. Qnd i wouldnt let him hqve his cup at qll within qn hour of dinner time thatcway he wouldnt get full on a drink and would eat.. Eventually we gor him out of the habit of only wanting to drink and eating better.

That's what I done this morning was only filled her cup halfway and I made eggs for breakfast and I gave her sips while she was eating... Unhappy can't even explain how she felt lol she was furious!! She ate not much but a little more than usual.. Finally I just gave her the milk cause she wouldn't stop crying 😩

no i may just start giving her a small bottle and then feed her and then give her a couple more oz of milk after.. I feel like she never gets full when she just wants milk

I would still give her milk just less at a time and keep offering her favorite foods

@mombie. Eliana would only take 3-4 oz when she still took formula.. She just started drinking that much since she started almond milk

I know this may sound weird or it may be wrong, but when my son does it (he’s been doing it since he turned 9.5 months) so I just mixed his milk with baby food since he didn’t want to eat and all he wanted was the bottle. I did try the same thing your pediatrician recommended to do with Eliana but it just didn’t work but I’m not going to let my child starve because he/she just wants the bottle so I just mixed he’s baby food into the milk and he started to gain weight again. Btw he had lost a good 4 pounds so I did that and he gained it back.

Yeah eliana has lost 2 lbs 🤦🏻 I've tried mixing formula into her baby food and she won't take it like that... I may try again at lunch time cause we have so much formula that's just setting here..
