11month old baby not drinking much milk

[Kaye03]

Hi im a bit worried, my dd is 11 months old & has really reduced her milk intake. Im still bf, she wont take formula. Should i be worried that shes not getting enough milk?

No, not really. They don't need milk after a year (It's ok if they do have it though) so probably she's just winding down.

Mine didn't drink much milk after about seven months and was perfectly healthy. Did have it on cereal of course. Loved cheese! They're all different, as long as they are eating well and varied they will be fine.

It was a constant battle to get mine to drink milk. In the end I just made sure she got her calcium intake via other means: cheese and full fat natural yogurt. She's almost 4 now and will have a glass of milk with cereal occasionally but has her cereal dry! 😂

How do you know she’s reduced her milk intake OP?

Shes having not many feeds in a day

I think it's quite normal by a year or so just to feed morning and night or perhaps even only one of those. So not many feeds in a day wouldn't concern me at all. Some babies do have more as well and that's also fine.

On average, she’ll be taking roughly 19 floz which is fine. Quantities don’t matter too much either because, like formula milk, your milk will change to suit your babies needs. Have a read of this on toddler nutrition.

As long as you aren’t limiting the time she can feed, she’ll be fine

Could be a nursing strike.

Its a “it will pass” thing. Just keep offering boob x
