It is becoming increasingly difficult to get my 7-m-old baby to take the bottle. I work fulltime and pump once a day for her. She used to take bottle but not anymore. And advice? Should I wean?

With the introduction of solid food into your baby's diet she'll require less milk; at her age the ideal daily intake of milk is 875 ml per day. Breast milk is by all means the best your baby can get, so as long as you still have breast milk please continue giving her. To ease your mind and make sure your baby is getting the nutrients she needs from milk, the best indicator is the rate of growth (30 to 60 grams per week between 6 to 12 months of age).
