Ds has just turned one and i am cutting out his afternoon feed so want to do breakfast bottle and bedtime bottle, how many oz should he have? Also cant get him to eat breakie as he wants to feed himself but cant keep readybrek,porridge, weetabix etc on his spoon. I have tried giving him his milk with breakfast, after breakfast and before breakfast but he still doesnt seem to eat much. How did/do you do it?

Do you try and feed him with the spoon after his failed attempts?

Perhaps you could give him more finger food... wholemeal toast with porridge on it.. sounds gross but might work??

they say a pint a milk (or its equivalent in substitutes, such as cheese, yoghurt, milk on cereal etc) a day

Thats what Ill try, have an Irish family who believe the only breakfast is porridge!! Sorry to ask again, roughly how many oz of formula should he have per day, is it 18?

that's 600 mls, or about 16-20 ounces, I think

from 1 the minimum is 350mls (around 12 ounces). I have also posted on your other thread.
