Is my 9 month old getting enough milk?

[AllAboutEvie]

I am a bit worried as my 9 month old DD has stared drinking less milk in the last week or so (she is FF). She has three meals a day and I try to give her three 6oz bottles, but she rarely drinks more than 3-4oz each time. This morning she would only drink 1oz. I usually give her a bottle after her breakfast as I find she eats more that way, but maybe I should go back to giving her a bottle on waking up? She then gets a bottle mid afternoon, which she used to enjoy but now only drinks half, then a bottle before bed which again is never finished. She is getting milk in her breakfast (porridge or weatabix), plus she loves cheese sauce and yoghurts, but I am concerned she isn't getting enough milk/dairy in total. Maybe I should give her less milk but more often? Any advice or reassurance would be gratefully received. I am also concerned she could get dehydrated. She does drink water from a cup, but not always a huge amount.

I'd offer milk an hour before food - I think at that age they're supposed to get 20oz a day including dairy.

I think they can manage on a bit less than 20 oz - about 15 at this age. If she is having lots on her breakfast and having yoghurts and other sources of calcium as well, I personally wouldn't worry too much.

It's important that she's getting a good rounded diet so my view would be not to feed the milk before the meal.

I think I found mine would still drink quite a lot at night if they had tea early.

Mine had milk first thing in the morning, before breakfast, and we found this a really difficult feed habit to break when they were older, so I'd be reluctant to reintroduce this unless absolutely necessary.
