How much milk?

My DD is 28 weeks and I've been weaning her since 24 weeks. She's absolutely brilliant at eating, eats porridge, all vegetables and fruit and I've just introduced cod, salmon, and chicken and liver successfully.

She has three meals a day, she eats a big breakfast, a smaller lunch and quite a big dinner with pudding.

I'm really pleased with how well she eats but I'm worried that she not having enough milk. How much should she be having and am I overfeeding her?

Well today I offered her four bottles, two 8oz (morning and night) and two 6oz (day time)

She drank roughly 15oz maybe a bit more.

How much should she be drinking?

Should I cut down on her food?

They are supposed to have about a pint a day, or 16-20 oz. DS had about 3oz today

Are you having the same problem Tinkjon?

Should I cut down on her food to encourage her to drink more?

learning all the time, i weaned my ds at 8 mths to two feed s morning and night from me, otherwise he had water and he is/was absolutely fine, his solid food intake was good like your dd's.
mil is not the most important food they comsume, if she has dairy in other forms and calcium thru veg's i would nt worry about milk intake.

Thanks, I'll just let her appetite lead me then.

Learning, as long as she is having 16oz minimum I would keep things as they are, as she is doing so well on food. If she starts to have less than 16oz then I'd cut down on solids.
I am having a similar problem except my DS doesn't want anything, milk or solids! Not like his mum
