I keep hearing the phrase, food before one is just for fun, so that would make me assume that they should continue taking their bottle and have no drop in volume. Or is that phrase just for people who practiced BLW and not people who did purees?

That is not the case for my babies. At 9 months old, we are seeing the drop from about 7 oz to now 5 oz at each feeding. I think they look forward to their solids. They are eating their purees really well. They love almost everything we give them. I am venturing out to more chunky foods now that they are sitting unassisted.

Does this mean I can start weaning them from the bottle? Dr did suggest waiting until they are a year to give them cow's milk. I guess I'm surprised that they are sorta moving on from the bottle at 9 months.

Oh, we did start purees around 6-7 months of age.
