When to drop milk feeds
Show your support
Don’t drop any milk feeds until 12 months, my 7 month old is on 3 meals a day and 4x 8oz bottles, milk is the main source of nutrition until their first birthday when you can put them onto cows whole milk and start thinking about dropping x
I think dropping a feed is fine if you’re following your baby’s cues. For example my girl was not finishing all her bottles - I can’t force her to drink them all! I cut one bottle and now offer x3 bottles spread out across the day. Usually 7oz but sometimes 8oz for bedtime.
My girl dropped a bottle herself, she now has 3 7oz bottles a day and 3 meals x
Another vote for do whatever baby wants! I have found my LO has actually increased his milk in time with learning to crawl, he must be burning the energy off so much quicker so keep that in mind too!
Don't drop any bottles, my little boy is still on 4-5 bottles a day of 6oz and has 1-2 good meals a day xx
Milk is still the main source of nutrition until 1 year of age so it would be best to just follow her lead... The minimum requirement until the year for milk is about 20 Oz :)
