Babies: 9 - 12 Months

XP How much does your 10 old drink

How much does your 10 month old drink?  Formula or breast milk?

 We nurse in the morning and at night, and sometimes in the afternoon after I get off work.  I have been pumping 2x per day and sending 10 oz to the sitter for her to have in her oatmeal and drink throughout the day. The sitter seems to be hinting that this isn't enough.  I think she can have juice/water to fill the gap.  When at home on the weekends she doesn't seem interested to nurse enough to get this much milk. 

It is getting harder to get that amt from my breasts during the day, not to mention I am getting frustrated/stressed with trying to get my work done and pump 2x per day.

 So how much do you nurse/pump for your approx 10 month old?  Thanks!

And if you bottle feed, how much formula/juice/water do they take a day?

  • He does 4 bottles per day at 6 ounces a piece.  He doesn't eat overnight.  He drinks water with his meals and always has a sippy of water around while he is playing.

    No more TTC for us. We are done, and at peace, as a family of 4.

  • 3 6oz bottles and then a small bottle before bed (he rarely drinks more than 4oz).  He's never been a big formula drinker though.

    Ditto sweetpea - water with meals and when playing.

  • he has a 6oz bottle when he wakes up and a 9oz bottle before bed (ff)

    we don't give him juice, perhaps just a sip of our glasses if he asks

    the amount of water depends on how hot/thirsty he gets, anything from 3 to 8oz a day

    This looks like our weekend, pretty much:

    Wake up, Nurse

    Breakfast is oatmeal mixed with BM and fruit

    Nurse / Nap

    Lunch is solid food, water to drink

    Snack solid food/maybe nurse for a very short minute in the afternoon

    Dinner solid food/water

    Nurse before bed.

     And water or juice cut with lots of water during the day.  I prefer mostly water but will do a splash of juice here and there.  Sounds like what I am doing for the sitter is more than adequate.

  • Lucus is 10 months, he has 4 bottles each one at 7oz. in addition to this he has  porridge and a jar of babyfood that we are trying to substitute for finger food. between bottles he has water or juice.
  • I exclusively pump with my 10 month old (except with his 1am feeding)

    I want to give him 4 oz each time but I can pump only 2 or 3 oz sometimes.

    he wakes up at 7 and I pump and feed.

    small snack then breakfast at 9.(sippy with water too)

    nap at 10, up at 12 then pump and feed.

    small snack then lunch at 1 (sippy with water too)

    nap from 3 to 4. pump and feed when he wakes up

    small snack and dinner with sippy at 6

    7pm bath. pump

    feed bottle before bed at 8

    - so he gets anywhere from 16 to 20 oz (including night feeding)

  • She gets 4 bottles a day an drinks anywhere from 24-28 ounces.  This is in addition to 3 meals a day and sometimes a snack.  She probably drinks around 10-12 ounces of water a day, too.
