8 month old combination feeding advice

[Katie81c]

Hi just looking for some advice/experience. dd is bf in the morning eats 3 meals, 1 snack and two formula bottles - one at three and one at 7.30.
She is only drinking between 1-6oz at 3pm and 4ozs at 7.30pm. I do add up to 4oz into her food but it doesn't seem enough. She is generally happy and looks healthy, chubby and her weight gain is good. But at 8 months is that small amount of milk enough, I know the guidelines are 500-600ml but she is no-where near that.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Both of mine aren't great milk drinkers - dd1 (now 5) pretty much gave up drinking any milk from any source at about 11mo - for about a year she'd drink that expensive growing up milk from a cup but when she got to 3 I stopped buying it, it seemed ridiculous making up formula for a 3yo! She will eat cheese and fromage frais though so we get calcium in that way.

Dd2 is 9mo and not keen either - she bfs morning and evening but I'm not sure how much she gets, she only takes 100mls max from a bottle when I'm at work (I work nights). When I'm working I offer her feeds through the day too and she will have a bit but doesn't stay on for long. She loves her solids though, and I put 3oz of formula on her cereal to get some in that way. Both dds seem healthy, I don't really know what else I can do really!

That makes me feel better, everyone else I speak to says there lo are on much more. I guess they must get what they need cause dd seems really happy. Just need to stop worrying :)
