How much formula did your baby drink at 8-9 months?

 

[Always&4ever]

Jasmine was on 4 7oz bottles but she was on breast-milk aswell

Average formula intake by months:
1 mo – 18-26 oz./day
2 mo – 22-32 oz./day
3 mo – 24-35 oz./day
4 mo – 29-40 oz./day
5 mo – 29-40 oz./day
6 mo – 28-40 oz./day
7-8 mo - 28-32 oz./day
9-10 mo - 24-32 oz./day
11-12 mo - 24-30 oz./day

1-2yrs - Whole Milk - 16-24 oz./day

ciarans 9 months and is on 4 9 oz bottles .. should i reduce his :S can i start him with cows milk :S i soo didnt know

Caitlyn has 3 meals a day, and snacks. She breastfeeds 4-5 times now. I'm not sure how much formula I should be moving her on to. I don't want to over-feed her, nor starve her. I guess I will follow her lead, just didn't want to go to either extremes.

Thank you girls!

KimxNxBeggsy - I would follow his lead. I think in the UK cows milk is introduced at 11 months slowly, untill 12 months when they have it all the time.

omg i struggle to get 16oz down Riley i no hes nearly 11 months so bit of a difference but he just point blank refuses yesterday he had only 6 oz he refused to drink anymore

 

[Serene123]

Does it really matter if they don't drink the recommended?

 

[foxyroxie]

a dont think it matters to a certain extent say give a few oz or so but i got told riley was supposed to be drinking 20ozish still a day but theres no way he will drink that

i dont think so im not worried about lilly, she sometimes doesnt want her milk in a morning so she has milkshake in stead, ya no the crusha stuff?

my SIL changed her little girls milk at 11 month cause she wouldnt have formula any more, and she wouldnt entertain cows milk either, she'll only eat it on her breakfast the HV said it was fine just replace it with other dairy like cheese,yogouts ect i would just follow her lead, xxx

Leeon had 3 7oz bottles now he has 2 7oz bottles

 

[xkelly]

i was at the HV's today and she sed that they recommened about a pint a day which is approx 21oz but that includes cows milk if u give that with her breakfast.

josh has 1 50z and 2 7oz and cows milk with his breakfast.
hope that helps.

Grace is 7.5 months and has 3-4 8oz bottles

 

[Sammy181]

Katie has 3 x 7oz bottles a day - the health visitor said by 9 months I should cut it down to 2 x7oz or 8oz a day. However, some things I read still say 3 bottles a day so not sure what to do.

I doubt it... Jasmine drinks way less then the recommended amount for her age... We make a jug with 770mlsa day and alot of it goes to waste.

Char gets 3-4 6oz bottles a day

yep ella is the same she hardly drinks her milk anymore , just has half a bottle and thats it ( at every feeding)!

Not a big food eater iether she just not intrested!

 

[isil]

like others have said I think they're just meant to have 500mls but then if they're having yoghurt it might be okay to have a bit less...?

Ally only has 480mls max of formula but then we try to give him yoghurt and whole milk in his porridge.

I think if she's used to having more feeds, she might want to drink more often but not as much as other LOs do maybe. I guess you'll find out soon!
