How much should a 9 month old be drinking?

[QuintinsMommy]

my son drinks 30ozs a day still, not sure if that is too much?
he has 3 meals a day, plus snacks, My mom said he should be dropping a bottle by now because he still wakes in the night for a bottle.

Hey

I'm not sure exactly how much Lennon takes *thinks* I'm going to say he's probably having about 24oz?
I wouldn't worry though chick,Quintin will drop a bottle when he's ready xxx

Hi, Anything between 15-18 oz since he was 6.5 mnths. Omar is not a big drinker since he was tiny. They need 18-21 oz with 3 meals at this age but if they want more it's ok xx

I have read that it is no more than 20oz a day for 9 months + any more could suppress his need for food. How is his appetite for solids - maybe offer more food and he will drop some milk himself?

Yup, this is my understanding, too.
