Baby is 6 months plus. Started eating cereal (spoonfeed) and some milk (drink milk from bottle), lunch is veg puree (spoonfeed) and some milk from bottle. The rest of e day is juz milk. I realise tat baby prefers to eat more than drink milk. Can i increase his cereal & juz feed cereal without e milk for breakfast and veg puree & no milk for lunch?

Baby needs abt 500-600 ml of milk minimum in a 24 hr period - including milk that u add to cereals/solids. So u still need to give milk as it is more suited to their nutritional needs. So just give baby a smaller feed of milk before his solids and continue to add milk into the cereal and foods - unless the cereal alrdy contains milk.
