DS2 is 10 months and still having 4 a day, each of about 4ish ounces. Under 1 they need about 1 pint of mil (~20 oz) per day which includes milk in their food (yoghurts, on cereal etc)

Hope that helps

DD is 8.5 months and having 4-5 bottles of 5oz. She really needs that no matter how much she eats and won't entertain any feeds being dropped yet.

at 7 months ds had 5 feeds with one being in the night. By 8 months he had given up the night feed so just had the 4 day feeds. He went to 3 feeds at about 9 months and was down to 2 feeds at 10 1/2 months.

DD is 8 months and has 3 daytime milk feeds totalling approx 600 ml and 3 solid meals. She's never had a massive appetite but this format does the trick.

my nearly 10m DD has been having 3 feeds of 7oz/day for the last 2 or 3 months.

she always glugged them right down, but recently has started not having the whole lot - now more like 4 or 5oz/feed, as her solids intake has gone up. she has milk in her porridge in the morning though, so total milk intake probably still around 20oz
