We started solids but my baby still wants a lot of milk. Should I gradually reduce milk intake?

When starting solids, it's common for babies to maintain strong milk interest — this is very normal. After 6 months, solids are supplementary; breast milk or follow-up formula remains your baby's main nutrition until age 1. Rather than consciously reducing milk, let your baby explore solids while offering milk whenever they want. The milk demand will naturally decrease over time as solid food intake grows. Don't try to restrict milk; that's not healthy. Your baby is designed to self-regulate.
