11 month old food/milk

My little one is 11 months old. Here is his routine/food/drink, I’m getting told by friends he’s not having enough formula, but then he wants more food, I’ve tried tweaking and this is what he wants, am I other thinking

7:15 - 7oz milk
8:30- weetabix with milk
12:30 - lunch with 5oz bottle
17:00 - dinner (I offer 5oz milk but he refuses)
19:30 onwards - 8oz milk

He will drink those 3 bottles no problem, and he eats his solids really well, he doesn’t have huge portions of food before anyone says too much solids

Once he’s a year I am going to cut out his lunch time and just have him on morning and bed time and have those at 8oz

Does this sound okay for 11 months? Am I over thinking it after being told that he’s not having enough formula?

I follow him and always have done and he’s happy, healthy and eating and drinking well so don’t want to mess with his feeds if I don’t have too?

Advice welcome

My midwife told me my baby (who is also 11 months old) should be having around 18oz a day and should be cutting out the night time feeds.

However my baby drank nearly 23oz last night throughout the night almost like a newborn again. She eats 3 meals a day but sometimes she refuses a lot of it.

Every baby is different, you can’t force your baby to drink more or eat more. I’m sure you’re doing everything right for your baby.

I was told it drops to a minimum of 14oz when there 10months. Mine only seems to drink about 15oz anyway. A 5oz morning, 4oz in afternoon and then a 6oz at bedtime

Thankyou!! I don’t feel so bad now, my little boy drinks around 18-20oz a day at the moment! Thankyou everyone xx

Mine is coming up for 11 months and only has one or two bottles a day on a "normal" day:

Wake 7ish
Breakfast 7:30 - porridge or Weetabix made with 5oz of milk
5oz bottle before 1st nap
Lunch 12ish
Dinner 4ish
7oz bottle at bed time

On the days he wakes ridiculously early I'll offer him 7oz to get him through until breakfast. As long as you make sure he's getting multivitamins if he's having less than 500ml of formula it's fine.

My little girl is 10.5 months and that’s exactly the same amount as what we have

My little one has 15oz in total in 3 feeding, one is night feeding.

3solid meals and a yogurt every day. Also some crunchy veggie snacks when we all dine at the table in the evening

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
