Mums of babies 9 months

babybaillie · Oct 4th, 2010, 14:11 PM

My lo has never been a great milk drinker. But shes just getting worse. How much milk does ur 9 month old baby drink a day?

My LO has a 6oz bottle in the morning when she wakes and a 6oz bottle when she goes to bed. I went to see my HV a couple of days ago because i was concerned it wasn't enough and she told me that amount was fine as long as she has a varied diet which includes dairy products and that she has other fluids during the day. Hope this helps

Anna has about 18oz a day and 3 small meals. As I am increasing the size of the portions she is taking less and less. She was taking no water/juice til just last week and now she has sips during her meals so am happy

Lana normally has 5/6 oz at brekkie and 9oz for supper but today she is lucky if she has taken 6 oz of milk in total

the boys have

7oz morning and 7oz before bed and 4oz with tea. They are on three meals quite hefty portions I think and drink water in the day (or should I say shake their sippy cups full of water at each other a few times a day)

I was a ltittle concerned about Austin not taking much milk anymore but as someone said before i was told it was fine as long as he was getting dairy elsewhere in his diet. He has 6-7 oz in the morning and the same before bed. Occassionally has one 6 oz bottle in the day but doesnt finish it. He ussually has at least 1-2 yogarts ( big pots) per day and rice pudding and that sort of thing for his puddings so gets plenty. I try to give him water which he has in a sipping cup, i think he drinks some but mostly it goes down his front hehe xx

alex has way too much apparantly - at least 20oz and 3 meals and a snack. How i got to that point i will never know, she was a rubbish eater and drinker to begin with

Varies between 12 & 18 oz since he was 7 mnths. He takes 3 bottles, I always prepare 6 oz bottles but he rarely drains them & always leaves between 1-2 oz in each bottle. He only takes 3 small meals with no snacks in between. He dropped frm 90th percentile at 7 mnths to 75th at 10 mnths but his Dr. wasnt concerned. xx

Tom has 8oz on waking and the same when he goes to bed. He has just dropped a bottle during the day and but still has about 4oz from a 6oz one around lunch time. So about 20oz max. He also has 3 meals and at least 1 snack over the day but he doesn't eat a huge amount at each one.

He's suddenly gone off drinking much milk during the day - when he wakes from naps he pushes a bottle away but will eat rice cakes etc quite happily.
