How much to drink / reducing milk intake

[sadie12]

Hi my baby is 6 1/2 months (28 wks) today. We started weaning at 23 weeks. Increased steadily from 1 meal a day to 3 a day. The last couple of days I have been giving her cooed boiled water with these meals, which she enjoys, but I was just wondering how much quantity I should let her have? I don't want her to overfill herself on water and not have room for food/milk.
I am also wary about cutting out the milk feeds directly after her purees as she has quite a lot, and strangely seems even hungrier for the milk after she's ate the 'food'
I have found that not many (only 1!) of my friends has done purees instead of BLW, even the HV was openly against it, so I feel that I have nowhere else to go for advice.
Thanks in advance x

You don't cut out any milk feeds when weaning. You still offer them as normal and when your LO starts to cut them out herself then you follow her lead and cut back. Milk remains the most important source of nutrition till your baby is one so it is important to keep it in her diet for that reason and let he have as much as she wants/needs.

As for water let her drink what she wants with meals. If she is thirsty she will drink it, if she isn't she won't. Unless your tap water isn't drinkable for some reason then there is no need to use boiled and cooled water, you can use it straight from the tap.
