Dropping milk at 8 months
Abigail is 8 1/2 months and has been gradually reducing the amount of milk she drinks, So far today she has had 3oz in her breakfast then 3oz at 9am then 3oz at 3pm. This is no where near enough. She is on 3 proper meals a day which I make myself so I know she has a good food diet, but just wondering if it's worth me giving her follow on milk (stage 3) if so how much does she need of this in a day. I've tried to call my HV but she has finished for the day and would like to know for tomorrow as I can organise it with the childminder.
Any advise will be great

She used to take around 4oz in the morning, maybe another 4oz in the afternoon and maybe 5oz before bed (and would often vomit after this, or if she took more!). We are only on day 3 of reduced food, but it seems we have found a happy medium and she has been taking 5-6oz at each feed. Last night before bed she took 7oz-which I was expecting to come back up again (but it didn't!). She is also sleeping better now (we were having issues with night waking).
Sorry if I've waffled a bit, but hope some of this makes sense and is of use to you xx
James is still on 4 bottles a day! But because he takes most at bedtime and DF, they're not ones I can drop. xx
