She was an 'aggressive' formula eater until a couple of days ago, and she has steadily declined in formula intake at 9 weeks.
She seems to take formula in the morning, then a few hours later destroys a Henry's Healthy Block. Then I offer her some veggies through the day which she seems to be incredibly interested in consuming. (Bok Choy, Lettuce, Broccoli) I limit her carrot intake to just a tiny chunk every few days, and she loves those as well. She is doing well chewing on Maple tree branches and other things, and seems to like her cuttle.
Today was a bit alarming to me, but I am pretty paranoid about her health. She seemed to largely reject formula after the big morning formula feeding, and focus almost entirely on that Henry's block and the veggies/sticks through the rest of the day. I offer formula and she looks away from it. (LOL) Is this a bit early for her to start the self weening process or are we OK with this? Should I make any alterations? I am trying to ensure she loves the Healthy Blocks - and she really seems to have caught on to them, with a few added veggies here and there later in the day.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting her to start the process of what appears to be self weening at approximately 9 weeks?
Thoughts? Thanks!
