My six month old son will not drink any milk!! Help! *10 Points*?

I need help! My son just turned 6 months. He has been eating about 2 containers of food since he was 4 months. He will no longer drink milk. When I get home at night he does drink from my breasts (empties both) but will not drink any milk during the day when I am away. His poop is not mushy anymore but is a hard terd. I am guessing that is because his diet doesn't consist of much milk. I feel like this is unhealthy for a 6 month old. How can I get him to drink more milk while I am away?

    well...as much as you might not want to, maybe stop giving him the breast while your home and try to switch him to a bottle completely. that may be a security comfort thing for him and since your away when hes getting the milk he decides he doesn't want it.

    Cut back on solids... Breastmilk or formula is far more important to his diet than solids do if he's reducing milk intake you have to reduce or stop solids till his appetite increases to compensate both needs
