How Much Formula At 8 Months?

[nessajane]

Untill this last week tyler has been having 2 x 6oz and 3/4 x 4oz, but this week he has cut right down to 2 x 6oz and 3 x 2oz

His day goes like this :

Morning - 6oz
Late Morning - Porridge & 2oz
Dinner - Meal & 2oz
Tea - Meal & 2oz
Bedtime - 6oz

Is this enough milk for him??

Thanks

not sure tbh hun, katie's alwas been a big milk drinker! she has 5oz in the morning now, sometimes 5 mid morning, 5 mid afternoon and 5 at bedtime (sometimes more!)

by a year they should have about a pint of milk a day, which is apparently 2 lots of 6-7oz i've been told!

Leo has 7oz in the morning, 4oz at tea time, and 7oz before bed.
And he also has 3 meals a day. HV told me that that is fine but try and get milk into their diet in other ways if they wont take much in a bottle. For example, make them a rice pudding (homemade not tinned) for after their dinner and other desserts which contain milk. HTH x

At 8months Seren was taking 27oz (4x 7oz bottles)

Now over the past week her milk intake has taken a real drop, she now has 3x 7oz bottles, and probably drinks about 16oz.

I add a little milk to her ready break in the morning to make up a bit of that but I've been told as long as when they're weaning they're taking at least 500/600mls of formula then that's fine x
