How much formula milk while weaning

[kickass_MOM]

FF Moms,
When did you start weaning LOs off milk and how do you decide on how much solids to replace milk intake.

Personally I just worked in solids inbewtween her milk feeds and she started taking less milk at each feed and dropping bottles on her own. She went from 5 or 6 7-8oz bottles a day to 2x4oz bottles and 2x5-7oz bottles a day now she is on 3 meals a day. I think that babies still need 21oz of formula a day until they are a year old (but I think that dairy like yogurts and cheese also counts towards the 21oz) xx

You don't replace milk with solids just work around solids

Yes, you add solids, milk is still there as normal.

You do not reduce any milk feeds.

LO may start taking less around 9 months when LO would be on 3 meals and couple snacks per day.

20oz at least is recommended from 9 months.

Milk is their main source of nutrition up til age 1 so try keep as much of it there as you can.
