Is this normal

[~EmsMum~]

DD is 4 months old

she has always been a fussy feeder

I have started her on solids aswell.

For the last id say 3 weeks she doesn't seem to be wanting her lunchtime bottle and if she does have it, its only around 40-80mls of it...

Is this ok for her to be doing that

yep thatsw normal as the solids would be filling up her belly

[rainbowbaby]

I think so, sometimes they are just not hungry and if she has had solids in the morning probably still full. As long as she is putting on weight and she is happy I wouldn't worry. Hope this helps:)

Totally normal you may find in a few weeks she wants that feed back or the likes & let her there is no harm :thumbsup:
Boof would alternate with how much milk he wanted with how much food & then somedays he would want everything id say from growthspurts !

Totally normal. Just let her have what she wants, as long as she is staying hydrated and you are offering milk before solids she will be fine.
Kailah still has 5 bottles a day and 2 solids! She is a guts!

The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) advises that babies should receive only breastmilk for the first six months.

These guidelines outline the latest scientific evidence and mirror what our association has been saying for years - that babies should be fed only breastmilk or artificial baby milk for the first six months. Even when solids are introduced gradually, breastfeeding should continue until one year and beyond - for as long as the baby and mother desire.

Many mothers find they come under great pressure from others to begin solids, often much earlier than recommended. It can be very difficult to deal with well-intended advice, especially if it comes from the baby's grandmother or other mothers

Giving baby solids earlier than six months does not mean giving the baby a better start. A young baby's digestive system can't cope well with foreign fats and proteins that are found in other milks, eggs, meat, vegetables and cereals. Babies who start solids later have less chance of being allergic or intolerant to foods as their systems are more developed and are ready to take the variety of food.

Breastmilk or artificial baby milk is the most important food for the first 12 months.
