  At T's 9 mo appt, I was told that he should be getting at least 20 oz of bm/formula each day - along with solids.  At that age, I was giving up to 4 tbsp cereal, 4 tbsp fruit and 4 tbsp vegetable each day, with a little protein mixed in.

  but is there a max? Little L drinks a TON of formula a day...
  

  Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever! Expecting again after IVF

  It really depends on who you ask! One ped said no more than 24 oz while i heard another say 32oz if they aren't great with solids!

  Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

  At 10 months my kids each get about 18-24oz of formula a day plus 4-6oz of water (I leave sippies out for them with water all day while they play). 

  They get 3 meals a day plus usually a "snack" of some cheerios once a day.

  Breakfast - yogurt (4oz), fruit (2-3oz) and cheerios or multigrain/whole wheat waffle/pancake
  

  Lunch -  fruit (2-3oz), veggie (2-3oz), protein/carb (usually cream cheese on whole wheat toast, cheese quesadilla, grilled cheese or cut up lunchmeat, cheese and crackers)

  Dinner - whatever we eat or a repeat of lunch type foods.

  I try to do a green and orange veggie each day and they've had eggs (our pedi okays them at 9 months) but aren't big fans of them.  They split the things I gave approx. measurements on.

  ETA:  On the max, my daughter refused solids and at her 9 month appt the pedi said it was fine if she wasn't doing solids and was okay with the amount of formula (she was right around 30-32oz/day) but just told us to call her if she was still refusing solids completely at 10 months.  She started finally eating solids a week later and caught right up.  Her formula dropped down to the 20ish a day within a week.

  My pedi says 24oz min 32oz max

  At 10 months she is drinking 28oz per day right now...at 9 months it was 32oz

  She has 3 meals a day and is already done with purees.  So I can't really quantify how much she is eatting... but she will eat almost a whole pancake with some fruit in the am. 

  Maybe about half of what my toddler eats on average...

  I think I remember about 20-24oz a day plus she got table food cause she hated purees.

  They were on the high end at 32 oz a day plus 3 meals (done with purees).
  

  
  After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
