Introducing table food really helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-baby-start-eating-more-solids-and-needing-less-formulamilk#post-1693511 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:14:09 +0000 beesknees 1693511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9-12 months, we started gradually introducing the option for her to eat proper foods at mealtime, but I would usually "top her off" after. Then as she actually ate more, she needed less topping off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-baby-start-eating-more-solids-and-needing-less-formulamilk#post-1693509 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:12:18 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1693509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe around 9-10 months? I only noticed because my supply dropped while pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-baby-start-eating-more-solids-and-needing-less-formulamilk#post-1693506 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:11:56 +0000 autumnlove 1693506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-baby-start-eating-more-solids-and-needing-less-formulamilk#post-1693500 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:11:16 +0000 Alivoo01 1693500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 months.

I've had to make a conscious effort to drop a feed during the day- she would much rather nurse 24/7 than eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-baby-start-eating-more-solids-and-needing-less-formulamilk#post-1693350 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:32:58 +0000 Adira 1693350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of forced it on Xander, but I cut out a feed around 9 months (it was a dream feed anyway), so he ended up getting less milk then.</p> <p>By 10 months, I think we were on 3 meals a day, but he was still drinking a ton. It wasn't until 12 months when we took away his bottles that he really started drinking less and eating more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-baby-start-eating-more-solids-and-needing-less-formulamilk#post-1693337 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:30:21 +0000 septca 1693337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 9 months I noticed a significant decrease in both my output and my DD's appetite for milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-baby-start-eating-more-solids-and-needing-less-formulamilk#post-1693336 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:30:21 +0000 JessKas 1693336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 8 months she started eating more, but still nursed a TON. Now at ten months she really eats a lot, and only nurses 4 times during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-baby-start-eating-more-solids-and-needing-less-formulamilk#post-1693334 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:29:16 +0000 Anagram 1693334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This depends so much on your individual LO. I have a friend who BFs and her LO started going crazy on the solids and nursing way, way less by as early as 8 months (when they don't recommend cutting down milk that early)--but her LO wanted real food and not milk and she's perfectly healthy.</p> <p>My LO is the opposite--still prefers milk over solids and when she has a growth spurt she drinks more BM as opposed to eating more foods and she 11 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-baby-start-eating-more-solids-and-needing-less-formulamilk#post-1693312 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:25:54 +0000 catlady 1693312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO (8 months) seems to need more milk than ever now that she is mobile. Just wondering when solids will start to become more important. Right now she doesn't eat much. </p>
