My 5 month (and 7 days) old LO has been rejecting milk especially when he sees us eat. Usually drinks 160 ml but will only drink 30 ml in the evening the last 3 days... is it because he sees our food and wants to eat? He's been wanting to grab our food and salivating a lot. Should we start with purée food earlier?

Sounds like your baby is ready to try solids soon since he is trying to grab your food. Babies go through periods of rejecting milk and they will bounce back again so I won't be too worried. Perhaps you can try giving him cereal already?
