Another question about drinking enough milk

So, following on from my previous question about 6.5 month DS not wanting to eat his purees I am now concerned about his milk!

He has returned to creche this week and is now accepting puree again. However for the past 2 days he hasn't had his afternoon milk feed and I'm concerned he isn't getting enough.

He is on Aptamil stage 1 (decided not to move on to follow-on milk). At home he has 4 feeds of 210ml water with 7 scoops of powder a day. Today he had his usual bottle at 7am then veg at creche at 10.30am then 180ml milk at midday and fruit at 3pm. He will have his normal bottle tonight.

When I asked about his afternoon feed at creche they said they didn't give it to him as he 'didn't seem hungry'. They offer water after purees but he isn't taking any. So today he will have 240ml plus 180ml plus 240ml of milk. This doesn't seem enough to me and I'm shocked that the creche just decided to drop a feed. Before I say something to them I just want to check whether I'm being sensible here....

Thank you

a minimum of 600mls (about 20oz) is recommended from 6 months to 1 year so he will be having just over that in the 3 feeds. However, if you want him to have the feed then the creche should be carrying out your wishes and not just doing what they want to.
