Our 9 month old DS was breastfed until 7 months, and has been on formula successfully for 2 months. He was having between 18 and 25oz a day approx., and also eating solids well.
In the last fortnight he has cut out a 7oz bottle as a dream feed at 10.30pm, and is now refusing milk first thing in the morning. I offered a 7oz bottle this morning, and he only took about 2oz and refused any more.
He’s at nursery 3 days a week, and has his breakfast there. The staff are great, but unconcerned that he’s not having much milk. They’ve suggested making sure he’s having dairy from cheese, yoghurt, cows milk in sauces etc., but I thought he was meant to be having 20oz formula a day til 1 year?
So basically, he’s now having possibly a 7oz feed in mid afternoon, and an 8oz bedtime feed, and that’s it. Should I cut back on his solid food? Grateful for any advice.
