9 months food and milk issue

[Flippajh]

DD is 9 months and am having a nightmare getting milk (ff) into her. Rough routine is
6.30 7oz bottle
8.30 1/2 weetabix with whole milk and fruit purée
9am 45 min nap
10.30ish refuses any milk so now has water
12.30 lunch 2 ice cubes, one meaty, one veg followed by fromage frais and some fruit.
1.30 nap
3ish 6 oz bottle - sometimes she'll take all, usually about 4oz
5ish tea some toast with bovril or cream cheese, some fruit purée and fruit or bit of rice pudding with fruit and water to drink.
6.30ish bedtime routine to include another 6oz bottle which if we're lucky she'll take 4oz.

So in a day she's only getting about 16/17 oz which I know is not enough, but not sure how to get her to take more.

Tonight she wouldn't even have a mouthful just screamed for bed.

Oh and she's up about 3 times in the night screaming until she comes in with us, I have tried feeding her in the night but she won't take any milk either, but the sleep is a whole other issue!

Do you think I should cut a meal out and see if she'll take another bottle?

I'm no expert but isn't 17oz nearly 500ml which is the recommended amount I've been told on here?

My 10 month old little girl has 500ml from 3 bottles at same times as you list - in fact your food routine is scarily the same as ours!!!

Hope someone with more advice will pop up...

she should have 20oz a day BUT that can be made up with cheese, yog and whole milk in her foods, so if you include the milk in her creal an dher youg, cream cheese etc, she is probably fine!

my dd was like this, she was never a milk fan, but as she got older, 10mths is she settled into a pattern of 3 bottles of 4oz a day, sometimes 4 bottles and then i made sure she ate lots of cheese etc.

i also get the organix baby cereal bfast as they can be made up with formula milk so i can get 3oz or so in her that way :)

On a good day she'll get 15 oz so have been trying to make sure with every meal she has some dairy. Just everyone has said at this age the milk is still the most important. Will persevere with the formula and dairy!!

it IS important, but some babies just arent big milk fans, i had 4 boys who LOVED their milk and then had dd who did not, even at just 6mths right before weaning and still on only milk she only had 24oz a day max, she never drank more than 5oz at one, generally only 4oz and she just never was interested in milk, she still grew fine tho, believe me i stressed over it, and then i thought hang on, she is grwoing, she is happy, healthy etc and so i relaxed a bit, gave her dairy in foods and chilled out with the milk.

try it in a cup as well?

i understand it is worrying, i think you need to let your dd guide you a bit tho and follow her, sounds like she is eating a nice varied diet, all you can do is offer the milk and food, you cant make them eat or drink and they wont starve themselves :)
