How much formula should a 9 month old be taking? Struggling with my daughters intake

Usually 17-21oz a day up to 12 months.

Is she having too much or too little, in your opinion? My almost 9 month old is just in the process of dropping a bottle (I think from next week on both I and nursery will simply not offer it any more and see what happens) and is now on three bottles at day, 8 ounces each. He has upped his solids intake in return, so it all makes sense.

She has 4 ozs morning , sometimes none in afternoon but is refusing a bedtime bottle this week but still waking at 4am for milk! That's the biggest one she drinks!

If she's having less than 17oz then you need to supplement her with vitamin drops as she won't be getting enough from her diet. Is she filling up on solids? Are you giving milk an hour before food?

She has always had milk separate to food but just won't take it anymore she is adamant she doesn't want it and I can't find anyway to get anymore in! She was having 7pzs at 10, 3, bed and waking at 4/5 but nowhere near that now and is hit and miss with solids, doesn't eat much main course but likes pudding!
