Is 350ml of breastmilk enough for a 7 month old?

[FionaSH]

Any idea anyone?

In how long a period? That;s about 12 floz I think.

24 hours. That's 350ml that includes as a drink, but also what I can sneak into his food.

I think it's recommended that they have at least a pint of milk a day up to a year old.

Is he not a big milk fan then? What does he eat/drink in a day?

Oh he's going a bit short then.
Not a big fan at the moment. Will try and sneak more in his food. He has porridge or weetabix and milk for breakfast, something like chicken and veg followed by a yogurt for lunch, then lentils and veg and cheese followed by fruit and oats for tea. So I'm hoping he's getting a lot of fluid in that...

how about something like fish pie or cauliflower cheese? you can get a lot of milk/cheese into them which should help.

Ready brek soaks up loads of milk, so useful when they're not keep on it.

Have a look through the weaning boards for tips on how to get more dairy in - I'm sure there are loads of ideas

Does he drink much water?

Why do they need so much milk if they are getting other dairy?

the recommended amount of a pint a day can include other daity lal123

No he doesn't drink much water, a few drips when he's playing with his beaker - can't use it properly yet. I'll look for more dairy based weaning recipes - thanks

will he take water in a bottle? DS never took to a beaker at all, and until very recently (2.5) had all his water in a bottle!

just a thought

And what are the magic nutrients they only get from dairy? Genuinely curious as DD (9 months) probably isn't taking the recommended amount

How do you know its 350ml? Breasts don't have measurements on them? Is he not taking any from you?

lal - www.nutritiondata.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/69/2

Vit A, Vit D, Folate, B12, Riboflavin etc etc
(that's just cows milk )

Apparently organic milk has more fat soluble vitamins (no idea why)

oh, and calcium, obviously

Breasts don't but the bottles I express into do....I won't bore you with the details as I've already been told off for going on about the same thing, but my dilemma is here

jareth unfortunately won't take a bottle either...
