LO not drinking enough?

beanie401

So I had to stop breastfeeding early due to some circumstances (please no why did you stop comments). He's been breastfed for over seven months and won't take a bottle. He will drink some formula or expressed milk from a sippy cup or a regular cup. I sneak some in his food as well. I know he's not getting the recommended 20-24 oz. anyone else in this boat or have dealt with this in the past? Thanks!

I BF and pump and my LO sometimes doesn't drink the recommended amount. I do like you do and sneak it in here and there. I think it depends on mood/teething etc. I have read that if you try and give less more often then that could work instead of large amounts at one time. Good Luck Mama!

Thanks!!! It's at least comforting to know I'm not the only one!

My DD can drink any where from 16oz to 26oz a day depending on a bunch of things. If you DS is having enough wet diapers a day (6 to 8) then he is fine. I just go with the flow and if i am too worried then i ask my dr.
