If your DC drinks formula, how much?

akaoct2005 · November 2013

My DS is 11 months old and is on table foods and formula. I feed him food 3x a day plus snacks (tiny) if he wants in addition to about 28 oz formula each day. I feel like this is a lot of formula at this age, but he seems to want it. Do I need to increase his food (I let him eat until he pushes it away)? Can you share your DC's formula intake?

Thanks.

Did you speak with your pedi? Our DD is 9 months and drinks 24oz of formula and 6 oz of food. She's also 23lbs so they told me I needed to lower her intake to about 30oz a day because of her weight. The way I understood it was that from now until she's about 1 yr we start lowering the formula and increase the food oz little by little.

Yeah, my kid has 4 6oz bottles per day. Plus 3 meals and a few snacks. I feel this is fine. Once we hit 12 months we'll replace formula with milk and things will taper off naturally.

That sounds exactly like what my 10 month old is doing lately. Some days less, but it's usually 20-28 ounces, depending on how much food he eats at meals.

DS is 10 months old, and drinks around 3 7oz bottles of formula on a good day. so around 21 oz and his pedi isn't concerned.

My DS just turned one, but for the past two months has been taking 16 oz/day of formula.

This. I do think that once he is off bottle he will eat more.

My 10 month old has been taking 4 4oz bottles each day since she was weaned about a month ago. She doesn't eat a whole lot of solids either but we do give them to her 3x each day. Everyone's replies are making me worried that she is not getting enough food/formula!

DS is 10 months (but around 9 months adjusted) and drinks 20oz of formula a day. He gets 3 meals of table foods and 2 snacks. This is how his days are when I'm home with him. Though when my parents watch him he drinks about 24 oz or more because they always think he's hungry when he's just fussy.

DS is on table food, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a couple graham crackers for snacks now and then.

He's doing three 8-ounce bottles a day, sometimes four.
