Not advisable!: Good evening, sanoly i would advise not to withhold milk to encourage him to eat sold at this age. We may advise to reduce milk in such a situation after one year of age. In fact, there is no reason to withhold milk as your baby will start eating solids when he is ready and when his system is mature enough. Forcing a certain food may cause an aversion to food.

Teething?: At seven months if he misses several milk feeding no harm is done. Milk only tends to bloat his belly so that he has no room for solids. The other question to answer for baby is whether or not he is teething for if he is he may refuse to eat solid food.
