How much milk/formula/liquid that is not water

[djtippietoes]

I'm just wondering how much milk/formula your LO is drinking these days.  When do we cut back and introduce more food.  A is still around 25 oz a day.  I sometimes wonder if I'm giving too much and that's why he doesn't eat much food?

I'm glad you posted this. I have been wondering if LO is getting too much formula. He is getting around 28 oz a day. He eats really good at breakfast and lunch, but doesn't seem to have an appetite around dinner time.

Adam is on about 75% wcm now, the rest is either bm or formula. He only drinks about 16 oz a day now, he's been gradually dropping feeds and amounts on his own. However, his weight has never been a concern, and he readily eats solids 3 meals plus 1-2 snacks a day.

He's also still doing about 28 oz a day. It's a mix of WCM and formula, about half of each. 6-12 ounces of those are overnight.

She drinks 24 oz and has 3 meals per day

@starrynight We alternate the bottles and the solids, so it definitely seems like he's constantly eating, or at least being offered something to eat. Our pedi was not particularly helpful in guiding us through this transition with a low-weight baby.

Take out @mummypig 's 10am bottle and we are pretty similar. I make 24-26 ounces a day and she usually drinks @20-24. And eats three meals a day.

E has 12-16 oz of WCM a day.

My piglet has 25 oz of formula a day, 3 large meals, and snack between each meal. Sometimes, she eats two dinners, one at 5 and then one when we eat at 7. Having one of the youngest babies, we haven't started WCM yet, but plan to next weekend.

About 24oz of formula a day with 3 meals of solids (although she doesn't always eat much of her solids).

Emma has 4 bottles with 5-6oz in each...sometimes up to 7 in her first morning bottle. Lately I've noticed she will only drink about 4oz at her 11a or 4p bottle. My doctor said to aim for about 16-25oz @ the 9 month appt.

@starrynight I'm still waiting for ei to call me back to confirm the evaluation appointment. They said it could take 3 weeks before they come.

We're still around 25oz a day, down from 32oz at 9mo. He gets 3 meals a day and 2 snacks. I've been wondering if we should cut back his formula a bit and see if he wants more solids.

[f14mama]

We've cut back to 3 bottles of formula a day, 18 oz total. He also eats a good breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 snacks.

[tangerinetart]

We do 3, 3oz bottles of BM plus nursing before bed, in the morning and 1 MOTN (most nights).

[starfisher]

E gets 14 oz of BM at daycare, plus a morning, evening, before bed and 1-2 MOTN feed. Yikes, that sounds like a lot when I write it out.

6am: 6oz
8am: Breakfast
10am: 5oz
12pm: Lunch
1:30-2pm: 5oz
4pm: 4oz
5:30pm: Dinner
7pm: 6oz

26oz approx. (he doesn't always finish his 5oz bottles)
He's a very hungry caterpillar.
Our pedi said not to worry about transitioning or cutting back till 12m.

This is similar to Alex's schedule, but replace the 6am and 7pm with nursing, and a few over night.

At 9m, our pedi said to aim for 16-24 oz. DD has been slowly taking less formula as she is increasing how many solids she eats. A few weeks ago, she'd take about 26oz. Now, she is taking 16-20 oz per day, but she takes it in a sippy with meals, and then a bottle before bed.

[lowedown]

Pretty much the same as jackiep1023. W was still having four 7oz bottles but started refusing/not finishing. I still offer 6oz 4x/day but he probably only drinks half that on a good day.

DD drinks around 20oz BM/formula per day. We just started introducing WCM into her bottles(replacing some formula ounces with WCM).

At her one year appointment earlier today our pedi advised 16-20oz dairy per day (she said too much calcium inhibits iron absorption) so that's what we'll be working toward

[blondemum]

X drinks 15-18 oz BM at DC plus nurses in the morning and before bed. He just dropped his MOTN nursing and I cut out his before dinner nursing last week.
He eats three meals a day and an afternoon snack.

[hammysmommy]

About 22oz.

6 for breakfast (1oz used for oatmeal), with oatmeal and fruit.
6 for lunch with a veggie food and/whatever I feel like giving him
4 for snack
6 for dinner with another entree type food.

Plus a sippy of water available when he wants it and during meals
