Milk for a 10 month old

[bambino156]

My lo is just over 10 months and she normally has 3 x 7oz (600ml in total) bottles each day. Last couple of days she hasn't wanted her usual milk feed in the middle of the day, is it ok for her to drop this feed at this stage?
Thanks

you want her to keep that feed till shes 1 ideally as they recomend 18-21 oz minimum till 12 months , how much other fluids does she have in a day, you might need to limit those more

maybe she is coming down with something/teething?
that can change her eating habits.

my son wont eat breakfast when he is teething and demands an extra feed at the breast to make up for it!

because their gums are sore they tend to not feed from bottles as much, so i would offer it little and often to keep up her fluid intake xxx hope this helps xxx

She has some water with each of her meals but she doesn't drink that much of it. I'll keep offering her the milk during the day also

Cinnamum - you could have a point, she has been showing lots of other 'teething signs' lately too (she doesn't have a single tooth yet!), so maybe she doesn't want to hurt her gums even more! Thanks x
