Yael wants nothing to do with solids now that she's on formula!

Ok, when I was nursing her, I introduced solids at 4 months and she went CRAZY for them! Prior to the introduction of formula, she was eating three meals a day, usually half a jar to a whole jar of fruits/veggies per meal.

Now that I weaned her to formula, she's hardly eating anything! She ate them VORACIOUSLY and happily before, but now, she has absolutely no interest.

Could it be that the formula is filling her belly so much that she's just not hungry for solids? She has started sleeping REALLY well at night now that she's on formula, at least 10 hours straight through, if not more.

Any suggestions on how to space out her feedings/formula, to get her to eat some?

have you tried the oatmeal with the formula then mixing in some fruit. Maybe just do breakfast and dinner to space it out or give her less formula. Now that DS is eating three meals he went from finishing 8oz to having about 6 oz

Can't do oatmeal - it really bothers her tummy. I guess I'll cut back to two meals a day and see how she does with that...

The formula is pretty heavy, which is why her belly is probably getting full very quickly and she is not hungry for the solids. I would give her some time to adjust to the formula first and then try the solids again. BM is pretty easy on their bellies.
