How much milk/formula is your LO drinking?

My 9.5 month old eats 3 solid meals a day and gets a pack of mum-mums and some puffs as well. He drinks a minimum of 30oz of BM a day. I am just wondering at what point will the milk feedings decrease. How old is your LO and how much are they drinking?

Re: How much milk/formula is your LO drinking?
I do the same thing and my LO averages anywhere between 30 - 34oz of formula. However, my LO STTN. It's working for us, so I am not planning on changing anything just yet.
She eats three solid meals a day plus a snack at daycare. She still drinks close to 30 oz. of formula each day! Honestly, her intake has increased from 9.5 to 11 months (maybe because we switched to formula, maybe not?).
Also, I really don't think it's a bad thing for them to drink a lot of milk/formula. I always expected she would until at least 12 months if not longer. My opinion is that when she is ready, she'll cut back.
Wow. Guess we are in the minority. My 10 month old DD barely drinks any formula now. I keep trying - but over the last couple weeks, she's just basically refused it.
We BF twice a day and I offer formula at least 3-4 times in between. No idea how much she gets during the BF sessions, but lately she's only drinking about 5 oz of formula. (so I'd estimate maybe 13-17oz total including BM).
She loves her solids though - she has 3 pretty large meals and an afternoon snack.
My LO is 10 months old and he went from two 5oz bottles and one 3oz at daycare to now eating two 4 ounce bottles. I estimate he gets about 21-25 ounces of BM per day. He eats three meals and occationally has snacks. He occationally drinks water from a sippy, and when at his dads house his dad gives him water/juice combo (my not wanting him to have a lot of juice, but not much I can do on my end)
