    I give my baby about 35 ( 6 feeds of about 6 ounces) ounces of FF and one is dream fed which I want to stop now.

    Also she is on 3 or 4 times solids. I do not exactly measure but may be 3-4 ozs of solids

    Milk:
    FF: 6oz X 6 times.
    I have started giving her cows milk thinned with water(50%-50% for now). I have graduated to replace 1 feed with cows milk now.. but not everyday. I alternate.


    Solids :
    mornings - yogurt + egg/fruit mixed or banana
    afternoon - porridge/yogurt or khichadi (rice or mixed malt or oats )
    evening -puree or fruit
    dinner - porridge/ yogurt or roti/yogurt or puree or khichadi.
    puffs or biscuits in between. She loves yogurt.

    Schedule:
    Morning feed@ 7:30 am.
    Last feed@ 11 pm... she does not wake up for it but we feed her.

    My doc@6mons visit had said to reduce to 28 ounces but she demands.
    can you please suggest your babies diet after 9+ months ? what improvements needs.

    I want to cut her 11pm feed but feeding it makes easier for mornings. Its difficult to wake up at 5-6 am to feed for us as we sleep very late.

    Also on weekends I think I feed her every 2-3 hours ( either milk or solids). Going out with her is very difficult for me. Her solids intake suffers even if i carry it along Any suggestions? how do you manage?

    @Sanjuruby3,
    Have you tried reducing the milk quantity by little instead of stopping completely ? like giving 5oz instead of 6oz and increasing the solid quantity.

    If your LO is sleeping through the night, then you should let her. There is no need for a dream feed either in the night or in the early morning. If anything with the teething process, it is only creating an opening for cavities.
