Hi,
DD is nearly 10 months and is formula fed. She has just started crawling and I guess her appetite has increased as a result as she is now eating 3 good meals a day. She has started "asking" for snacks between meals too - a bottle is refused, yet bread, cheese, rice cakes etc are gobbled.
The advice seems to be that between 6 months and a year babies still need 18-20 oz milk a day. But then on the stroke of midnight on their first birthday, they suddenly don't seem to need it anymore
So, my question is, how much (roughly) do they need at 9 months, 10 months, 11 months etc? If I were to be guided by my daughter's demands, it would only be about 15oz today. I'm not worried about this as a one-off, and am not going to try to force milk into her, but is she not getting the nutrients she needs if this carries on long term? And I can only assume her appetite for solids will increase and for milk decrease.
Thanks, sorry or the rambling post
