I dont want to get him of fomula milk i worded that question wrong he is on about 5 8oz bottles a day

Question

he wont eat solid foods and ive tried everything but all he wants is formula milk and I'm worried that he ain't getting enough goodness that he needs what can i do?

Answer 1

We need to know his age before we can give an accurate answer....

Answer 2

if he isnt already, id put him on formula for hungrier babies  like sma white, then try weaning him off so many bottles depending on his age and then try solids again.

Answer 3

It really depends how old he is. If he's under 6 months don't worry, babies don't have the necessary muscles in the mouth before then. If he's older, try cutting back by an ounce or so on each feed, so he's a little hungry - all that milk would put anyone off food! Then try a little baby rice mixed with formula, but leave the mix quite runny. If he can ust manage a tea speen or two to start with that's all you shoudl expect, then you can very gradually give a little more when he's used to it. Formula fed babies are notoriasy difficult to wean, as breast milk changes flavour and formular doesn't, so they're not used to different tastes.

wow - that girl is so wrong. Babies need solid food by six months. leaving it a year is child abuse!

Answer 4

How old is he? Formula or breast milk is all they need to have until they are a year old.
