Not worrisome: This is not concerning, although it could be a problem for you if you need to go back to work or if you need to be away from the child for hrs at a time. I guess the baby is "too smart for his/her own good". It is encouraging the baby takes solids, so the need for the BM will go down and you might be able to get away with fewer feedings

That should : Not be a concern . Nursing well and eating solids. Some babies will nurse up to 1-3 years and be healthy .

You may also try changing the nipple of the bottle. Sometimes this will help with latching and feeding from the bottle.

Since starting solids my 6month old grandson eats 3oz less from each of his bottles (breast milk). He loves his solids (fruit, veggies and yogurt), but my daughter is very concerned about his losing the breast milk nourishment. He is in the 7th percentile
