How much milk?

My baby is 7 months old and we are now doing breakfast lunch and dinner with her. She's always been a hungry baby and seems to do be doing well, sleeping through and loving her food. But she's still having 4x 8 ounce bottles and isn't turning away from them is desperately excited for them. Is this too much milk still considering she's having 3 lots of solids too? I know every baby is different and maybe she's just hungrier! Happy and content so I guess it's fine but just wondered what others thought or any experiences would be great to hear! Thanks

My little boy is 8 months having 4 or 5 x 8oz bottles per day along with 3 meals so sounds fine to me but maybe I have a hungry baby too!

@MagicMatilda oh wow yeah we must just have babies with big appetites! I was just thinking wow she's dropped one bottle which was her 3am one and that's it with all that added food! Thankyou 😊

That's fine. As u say they r all different. My first was still on 4/5 bottles plus 3 meals at that age. My second I had to drop to 3 bottles to get her to actually eat some food! She much improved her eating then. Never that bothered with her milk.

@Shelby30 ah that's good to hear! It's all trial and error isn't it! I feel like I'm just guessing most of the time haha! Thank god for Mumsnet 😊
