How much formula??

My sons is 9 months old, 10 months on the 27th and is a brilliant eater, loves his food.
He has three meals a day and sometimes snacks and is not really bothered at all about his milk. He’s offered 3 7oz bottles a day and rarely drinks much. He’s also on the 99th centile so he’s a big boy😂🥹
Just wondering if anyone has experienced this with their LO and if you’ve been given any advice/guidance on the amount of formula they need?? Thank you!

Google says this amount is normal, 3-4 7 oz bottles. 750-900 calories a day, half of that from food, so 3 cups a day and half of those calories from formula. I would still consult with your pediatrician lol but that’s what Google says. From a nutrition perspective there are vitamins in the formula that are beneficial for that age range. So maybe scale back the snacks to make sure he’s getting the formula in.

Ours was the same loves his food and started to drop bottles and we gave a multivitamin when he started having less than 21oz of formula as per the guidance x

I have no idea I just came to say ohhh my heart he is just so cute 🥹🥹🥹

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 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

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

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 🤣
