Oh yeah that is normal!! Trent did not even start having full 3 solid meals until he was 11-12 months old. Have you tried some different foods?

It's normal. Try some other things like the baby fruit bars.

I think it's a normal stage. If I remember right, Ericka went through that too :) We had a problem with giving her too much milk and juice, though, so her tummy was always full :tears Hopefully she'll eat for you soon :hugs

OH yeah....Ethan goes through that stage periodically. Just remember, milk lasts a while in the tummy! How much milk do you give her?

she drinks 8 oz every 4 hrs.. maybe i should reduce it??? i will ask the doc on her 12th month check up

Wow....is this milk or formula?!

Victoria

Honestly, that's even too much for Ethan. Ethan only gets 8 oz of milk in his sippy and the other 8 oz is of soy milk and that's added in his breakfast oatmeal.

its formula.. maybe i should just give her 6 and then feed her the solids then.. i guess she is not hungry enough or doesn't need the solids since she drinks too much milk.. i don't know.. i have heard of babies that drink the same as dd and still eat solids twice a day..

My daughter goes through phase like that if she's been drinking a lot of milk. Every so often she goes on a milk craze and won't eat much.

there's times that she just wants milk.. that is why i started giving her 8 oz.:dunno

Those babies could have a higher metabolic rate too.
I would contact the pediatrician before the 12 month appt. Because by then she should be off the formula...
Also, you may want to contact them sooner to find out how to transition into regular whole milk.
I, personally, think that 32 oz of formula for a healthy 10.5 month old is too much.

I'm confused. When you say milk, do you mean formula? There's a big difference between milk and formula.

If you're really concerned about her not eating solids. I'd cut back on the formula/milk. Maybe only give her formula/milk at certain times a day, like at meal times and give her a smaller amount, like 4oz.

yeah its formula... i might cut down on her bottle b4 lunch and then b4 dinner... maybe give her like 4 oz or so...
