My daughter is almost 7 months and we started her with little bit of solids starting at 4.5 months. Now she can eat up to a jar of baby food at a feeding. My problem now is that I can't get her to drink more milk. They still recommend 26-28oz of milk a day, but I think she's a little under. Probably 20-24 oz a day. Any idea how to get her to get adequate milk, should I actualy cut down on her solids?

If she's eating sweet potato, I'd feed sweet potato to her at the start of every meal!

I've noticed that once Charlie eats a little, he is much more open to eating more. So for him at least, the key has been to get him over his initial reluctance to start eating!

Also, he eats solids much better when he's distracted playing with a toy, or if he's hanging out with another kid who is a big eater!

MrBee brought up a good point, but rather than feeding sweet potato at the beginning of each meal I'd think about creating different blends (sweet potato mixed with something else) that way she still gets the sweet potato she likes and something else that you want her to have. My daughter does about 4-5oz each feeding and then about 7-8 at her bottle before bed. She's also gets about 4oz at about 430am on days that she doesn't sleep through the night, which seem to be more frequent since the joy of teething started.
