I posted the other day about how many bottles your little ones are on and if they were down to two or not. I feel like I’m constantly asking but my LB is on two bottles am/pm he will only have about 4/5oz in the morning and 7/8 in the evening. If I offer him any through the day he either doesn’t have it or has 4 oz then doesn’t eat much solids (BLW)
With the heat he’s off his food a little and will only eat yoghurt and cold fruit?!
Do you think I need to offer more milk or just carry one? (He’s 10 months) x

My little girl has 3oz of milk on her breakfast in a morning, 4oz mid morning and 7oz at bedtime but she is loosing interest in her mid morning one.

Sounds similar to mine tbh! He’s happy and healthy and has three meals a day

My girls the same sometimes misses a morning bottle and has an afternoon 4/5 oz and then a 6oz at bedtime

I read that by 1 year they are meant to be on 16-24oz of milk a day. My 11 month old is on 16oz absolute maximum. It’s child dependent. I wouldn’t worry if he’s having less, if he doesn’t want it, he doesn’t want it. Sounds like he eats well normally?
With the heat it’s normal for appetite to be affected, it happens to us too

Something my HV told me is that the daily oz guidance isn’t just for formula/ breast milk, it also includes other milk sources such as what you put in cereal, yogurts etc. My little girl isn’t great with her milk so we make up for it in her food. She only has 2 bottles per day (morning and night) and has about 6/7 oz, sometimes as little as 4 x

My baby is only on 8-10 oz bottle at night for bedtime and 3 meals and snacks if he is hungry in between. And is offered water throughout the day (wish he is drinking ALOT of atm probably the heat)
We have only cut to one bottle recently due to not wanting the bottle in the morning

My lo has tow a day 6 oz in the morning and 8oz at bedtime he has 3 main meals plus 3 snacks a day, his only just dropped the afternoon bottle lately over the last couple of days his more interested in water or flavoured water with no add sugar
