What shall i do with my boy?

Hi everyone

My son has been a guzzler for weeks drinking 9 oz a feed and all of a sudden i am lucky to get 5oz down him.

He has always suffered with reflux even though he is a big baby and use to have a big appetite, and permanently hungry. I have taken him to the doctors and he is fine. I am probably worrying for nothing and simply being a paranoid mum. But i am wondering could this be signs of my son wanting food instead of milk as he is watching me eat. He is 21 weeks and over 18lbs(5 months next week. I would have thought he would have been draining his bottles if he was ready or can it work in other ways?

Any advice on this would be very gratefully received

Have a great weekend ladies

you could try him with a small ammount of baby rice with his milk and see if he wants you can only try its all trial and error when it comes to kids. i find with izzy ill try her with summat and she wont eat it and try her again with it a couple of wks time and she will have it i think izzy was about 4 1/2 months when she started wanting more than just milk

He might have been having a growth spurt and now it's slowed down so has his appetite

id try him with a little rice, i think hes at the right age now, Gemma was a guzzler, and when she had rice she was like a little baby bird couldnt get it in quick enough!

Maybe his appetitite has changed and he needs more taste.

If he doesnt like it go back to the milk
