Please don’t water down any of his liquids. He needs as many nutrients as you can give him. If breast feeding is working for you both, keep giving it to him. He’s still a little baby and needs it

Why would you wean from the breast? Just add solids and perhaps some formula. No water or cow’s milk for the first year. You need to talk to your pediatrician.

Formula and BM is the main source of nutrition for baby until age 1. If he’s not getting full off the boob you need to give him formula.

A 7 month old should NOT be having cows milk at all! Either breast milk or formula ONLY until 1 year. And when you do give cows milk, you don’t water it down… He shouldn’t even be having water yet either… Wtf…

My kids were on homo milk with a small blob of corn syrup to sweeten it like breast milk and to help poop. Both were around 7 months. Both are a happy and healthy 8 and 10 year old. My mom did the same for all three of us as babies (actually at three months because she had to go back to work), and guess what?! We’re all healthy in our thirties and have a great life! I wouldn’t suggest watering it down, use homo milk, but do what’s best for you and your family. Good luck!
No cows milk or water or smoothies til 1. He should have breast milk or formula only . U either need to nurse him more or supplement with formula .

No no no to all of this I am sorry normally I am nice about this stuff but I just can’t with this. At almost 7 months his main source of nutrition must be Breastmilk or Formula NO COWS MILK UNTIL A YEAR! If you are having a problem with milk production and are not producing enough then it’s time to start supplementing with Formula. It’s not to late to sign up for assistance for the formula if you can not afford it, He can be eating baby food or even table food if you follow BLW but it is to not replace BM or Formula as nutritionally he is not getting enough from the food at this age. Also no smoothies and Water should be limited to no more then 4oz per day additional to his Breastmilk or Formula.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with supplementing with Formula if your having supply issues. But by forgoing it completely and moving to watered down milk you are risking your child health.

Wtf did I just read. 
No. He’s only 7 months old. He NEEDS breast or formula until at least one. And you don’t fucking water down milk, that’s dangerous. And he shouldn’t be drinking a lot of water either.
If your issue is that he wakes up at night or is constantly nursing, that’s NORMAL. he’s probably teething, or using you as a pacifier, breastfeeding is more than just food.
I swear… some people just shouldn’t procreate. Omfg.
You can start cow milk at 9 months old 3.25 with a well balanced diet
Ask any nutritionist you can start at 9 months
My 3 boys stayed on formula up until 1 year of age. Per doctor/nutritionist. Or doctor(s) should I say. Sure they may be able to tolerate cows milk at a younger age but that doesn’t mean they don’t NEED the extra nutrients. Or that its best for them. Moving along now 
Please tell me this is a joke
Omg! No milk till he’s one year old!!!
And really even up till 2yrs…research.
You don’t water down milk. And you definitely don’t give a 7mo cows milk.
Breastmilk or formula for the first year and no foods until 6mo (I know, he’s 7mo) always offer the breast or bottle before solids.

He needs some cereal and I agree my pediatrician said no cows milk tell 1 and I just started giving my son eggs and mashed potatoes at 7 months of course he was still eating baby food integrating those foods
No cows milk until 1 year old. Add a small scoop of cereal into the formula. It’ll help fill the baby up so you’re not blasting through the formula
PLEASE ask your son’s pediatrician, not facebook/google “doctors.” your son’s health & nutrition is NOT something to play with and try to tackle on your own, hence why babies have so many appointments

A 7 month old should still be nursing at least 6-8 times in a 24 hour period. Baby food is just for learning to eat with textures and tastes, not a reliable source of nutrition! Cutting him down to only one breastfeeding session means you are literally starving your poor child. His stomach is unable to pull enough nutrition from any other foods right now. He is starving!
Most people say no cows milk till 1 cuz that’s what their ped told them js 
my boys been drinking cows milk here and there since about 8-9 months. He HATES his formula. And hes allergic to pretty much all formulas so we have to get the nutramigen and considering the way it smells I can only imagine how it tastes. It all depends on baby for foods. My boys been munching baby food or completely blended foods since about 4-5 months. Of course dont make it their main source of food though. But now hes got 4 teeth and is already chewing most his food so

The main source of nutrition should be breastmilk/formula until a year old. Should not introduce cows milk until after that. Baby food/soft table foods is good as well during the day.

You don’t give a child under the age of one cows milk? BUT talk to your pediatrician about almond milk maybe. My daughter pediatrician let her go to almond milk by 10 months. But my daughter got switched to regular milk after 1 and she has a milk allergy. So she continues to drink almond milk to this day and she’s almost 4.

Oh my goodness no that’s not ok! Always ask the pediatrician first baby should be breast or formula fed up until a year and should be the main source of food until then even if you get the milk thing approved by dr. Milk is the main source of nutrition. And no watering down.
Why would you water his milk down he needs that for strong bones and teeth and through out the day
Among all the other crimes to this post, you should NEVER water down cows milk.

Cows milk is fine straight the doctors will tell you other wise but their wrong read the label on formula whats the first ingredient
Baby needs breastmilk or formula until the dr tells u it’s okay to switch… every baby is different but they still need milk. My dr let me give my son 3.25% milk at 10m (he stopped breastfeeding because I was 3 months pregnant with his brother, kept refusing the boob and bit me a couple times before I was like ok he doesn’t like it anymore) 7 months is way to young to not have milk. Even after one they should have at least 3 8oz bottles/a glass a day. Baby at 7m should have 3 meals a mix of purée and BLW. Hope you talk to your dr
Also the baby food you just keep trying different flavors they may spit it out but they are learning a new texture so just use your baby spoon to get excess back into their mouth

No. Whole milk until 1 years old and then 2% or even skim afterwards so he gets the vitamins he needs without the fats.
You dont want your child to develop an autoimmune condition, allergies, or a vitamin and mineral deficiency. Get some fenugreek or mothers milk from mountainmeadowherbs.com and keep breastfeeding him just up your milk supply or buy some organic formula, it has the best vitamin and mineral content and you avoid 15 toxins…don’t introduce regular milk until he is atleast 1 years old.
When you do introduce milk choose grass fed whole milk. The fat is healthy for their growing brain and body. Watered down milk is less nutritious.
Um…avoid cows milk as long as you can. It’s full of sugar and hormones. Formula is fine or if you can pump do as much as possible and feed him that. What’s with the smoothies? What kind? All I can think of is junk food and that’s terrible. You should be able to feed your baby what’s you’re eating, provided it’s not fast food.
Um no ma’am, buy formula 
no baby under 1 Y.O. should have cows milk

He can not have cows milk until 1 years old he needs breatmilk or formula
Beforr age one, babies should receive their nutrition from either breast milk or formula. Food before 1 is just for fun. For proper growth and develoment they need their nutrition from breast milk or formula. You can give them food, but not to replace the bm or formula. Do not water down the milk, and do not give them cows milk until age 1. After they are 1 they do not even need cows milk if they receive their calcium sources from other sources like cheese, or yogurt, etc. Please discuss with your pediatrician

You do not give an infant anything other than breast milk or formula. With a doctors okay, start puréed foods around 6 months. That should help fill him up. If you’re concerned about anything, I suggest you contact your sons pediatrician rather than a Facebook group.

No cows milk till hes about a week from being one and dont water it down try transitional formula 9-12 months then next step after 12 months along with cows milk #1 source of nutrition comes from breast milk or formula before twelve months baby food is not just for fun tho he needs that as well

But what smothies are you giving a 7 month old? And honestly you should still be breast feeding during the day or giving formula at 7 months. Start transitioning from breastmilk/formula to cow milk at 11 months.
Baby should be getting baby foods and table foods( just watch what table food if they dont have many teeth)

There aren’t enough nutrients in cows milk for babies under 1. Try supplementing with formula and introduce baby foods in phases so you can watch for allergies.
7 months is a bit young for water, milk you should hold off until atleast 11 months… he still needs that nutrients from your milk until atleast 10-11 months, dont switch him to early, but maybe try a supplemental formula, food he only needs baby food 2 times a day… he’s still a baby hun don’t rush him…

You can try giving your little one some egg yolk. And put half cows milk and half formula. But in all truth you have to do what you feel is right for you baby.
Just consult your Dr. Anyone who comments on what to do or not to is just their opinion or what they have heard. Drs have a different take on it all too so I would recommend talking with the pediatrician & following what they say instead of listening to anyone on here.
