Hi i have question, my baby is 10 month old he doent like any of the formulas,he neither take botlle or cup. i feed him couple of ounces with spoon,he hardly takes 12 ounces, now i`m want to stop feeding him breast milk,is that milk sufficient,if not how can i supplement,is it okay if i stop BM as he is 10 month old,i heard some babies screaming for BM once they r over 1 year n i`m no longer much interested in feeding, please suggest. momtwiceover replied. Hi! Yes milk is imp. but you can slowly reduce no. of your feeds in a day. since the baby is old enough you can stress on other foods like cooked and mashed fruits and vegetables, biscuits soaked in milk, fresh friut juice, maybe slowly baby will accept milk in a cup too as the habit of eating other foods come.Maybe you can try giving milk bottle or cup when baby is really hungry or before a nap when feeling to suck is there. All the best. dony replied. hii sirisha
my daughter is also 9 months old and i am also worried like u .....she also don't take milk from bottle as well as cup an di am able to feed only 6 ounces of formula in whole day from spoon and ths too takes me around half an hour everytime....i consult to pediatric here and he suggested to continue breatsfeed for one and half year as milk is very imp for our kids and we have to continue breastfeed as they don't take bottles.....but u r right once they r more than a year they begans to understand things and then it will become veru difficult for us to remove this habit....i am also really worried....
