DS is 10.5 months old and has only had breast milk and solid food, never any formula. I'm feeding him first thing in the AM and before bed and pumping twice a day at work. For the last couple of months, DS has really cut down on the amount of milk he's taking from bottles (twice a day). He used to take anywhere from 5-6 oz but now will take only 3-4 each time. He gets yogurt for breakfast now also and so his pediatrian isn't concerned with him not drinking so much breast milk. We've already cut back on the solids some in the hopes that he will be more hungry for the breast milk but that hasn't worked.
We've been on vacation the last 2 weeks and he's had nothing but breast milk fresh from the source and no bottles and now that we're back, he's refusing the bottle completely. Given that he's already not taking much breast milk, I'm getting a little worried now because with the upcoming weaning, not sure where he's going to get the nutrition he needs.
Any advice for this situation? Thanks in advance.
