Hi, my baby is 9 months on 29th she has 4 bottles a day with breakfast, lunch and dinner in between bottles, she hasn’t had a bottle since 4:45 this morning and was due one 9:45 the latest but I gave her a bottle at 9:45 and she just refused to have it I’m getting worried as milk is still her main food until she is 1 but she doesn’t have a lot of milk intake as it is

My daughter has never really taken more then 4-5oz every 3 hours and shes nearly 9 months now. She can go hours without a milk now aswell now she’s eating aswell, she seems and looks healthy so I’m not worried

My daughter takes around 6oz every 3 hours but sometimes it’s less than this, but we’re only on 2 meals a day (we don’t do lunch). I expect it to drop again when we do a third meal.
They need 500ml minimum of milk a day until they’re one. If you’re not hitting this I would say cut back the solids for a little while or, add their formula into their meals. Mix it with their porridge or yoghurt, use the milk to make sauces for their meals etc. offer milk in a beaker at meal times.. you’ll be surprised how much you can get into them when it’s mixed into their food x

Same as my LG - i make a 5oz bottle every 4 hours and she drinks 2/3 oz… so frustrating.
Shes a good eater and does drink water which is good.. but still want her drinking more milk. X

My little girl has suddenly gone right off it too. Think we are going to drop to 3 bottles now and squeeze a little top up one in if she needs it. But as Cerys said you can get it into their food. She’s had about 4oz added to her weetabix this morning and 1-2oz mixed in with avocado and cream cheese for lunch x

My baby is 9 months on the 29th too!! Haven’t met anyone yet with the same birth date!
I wouldn’t worry too much, have you thought about dropping a bottle? My hv said that roughly by 8/9 months they would be on 3 meals and 3 bottles then drop them down to 1 bottle by 12 months.
I’m sure as long as lo is eating and drinking water shouldn’t worry too much. Can you contact hv and ask? X

oh wow I haven’t met anyone with the same birthdate either! No I haven’t spoke to a HV as of yet wanted to check on here just to see what was said but I might give them a call x
