Prama -- yes DD has a full bottle. If she has slept all night she has her milk and then about an hour later she has a few teaspoons of rice cereal. She is still having 4 - 5 bottles a day but usually 4. She then has solids again early evening around 4.30 - 5.30 but she isn't liking the vegies so again at the moment it is rice cereal with a teaspoon of vegies to try. DD isn't that interested in her solids as yet so she is still having plenty of milk.

Each baby is different. If lakshman isn't finishing his milk maybe give him half a bottle prior to his solids and then offer the other half a little later. He might be ready to drop a feed if he is eating enough solids. But milk is the most important at this stage and solids are just getting them used to different tastes etc

With the guide I gave you, it is often a few months before they are actually eating 3 meals a day. If Lakshman is hungry at a certain time maybe offer his solids first and then give him his milk after??? and then see how he goes with his other drinks during the day. He will drink what he needs so don't worry too much I know its hard.

Anyway enough rambling from me
have a good day and a safe trip home. I can't believe how quick the time has gone for you.

Oh and Happy 6 months to my DD today

Sue
