INSIGHT

Milk Intake Shifts Over Months

  • Milk frequency and volume at 12 months differs greatly from 6 months.
  • This is because baby's nutrition shifts from milk to foods as they wean.
ADVICE

Drop Morning Milk Feed First

  • To drop a milk feed during weaning, start around 8 to 9 months when baby is eating more solid foods.
  • You can drop the morning milk feed and offer food first thing instead.
ADVICE

Let Baby Experience Hunger

  • Allow your baby to feel hunger to learn true hunger and fullness cues.
  • Avoid constantly giving milk/snacks all day which can interfere with learning to eat food.
