how much milk - 7 months
Hi all
just wanted a bit of advise on milk intake, and how much my son should be having, he is 7 months and 19lbs in weight.
in terms of milk feeds he is having:
8oz - 7am
1-2oz - 11am
4-5oz - 3pm
1-2oz - 6pm
8oz - 7.30pm (bed time)
so in all he is still having a fair bit of milk, but just not a great deal during the day, along with this solid food wise he is doing really well, he's having 3 meals a day plus mid afternoon snacks.
Is it ok for him to have the majority of his milk intake at 7am and 7.30pm? or does he need to have it spread out during the day? Just want a bit of re-assurance
Thanks Lou and Alex

Thats on a good day most of the time he skips his afternoon bottle im thinking of dropping it as he seems to not want it anymore.There be getting more dairy from cheese and yoghurts by now so dont need so much milk.

6oz 8.30

12o/c lunch
3.30- 6oz

ds is now 8.5months and still feeds like this and he weighs 17lb. hey shld be having 18-21oz per day from 6months til 1yr.
tbh if lo is on 3 meals then u don't need the little 1-2oz feeds anymore, and if she gets peckish u cld offer a snack (banana, fruit etc) so u can drop 11am and 6pm feeds if u like, but keep the lunchtime oone. and with those feeds alone (morning, lunch and bed) ur getting 21-22oz so perfectly enough for him. hth xx

At 8 months when DS was having 5oz, 5oz, 7oz, at 7am, 3pm and 7.30pm, she told me to save myself some work and do 2 bottles of 8oz per day. I dropped the 3pm bottle that day and all was fine. You will possibly need to be more encouraging in giving water and snacks but should be fine.
My little one will only take 3-4 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon!! (why do I bother!) and 6-7 at night. My health visitor also told me that this was fine. Still worry that she should be taking more tho! :-S xx
My little on started dropping milk feeds just before 8 months. Once 3 meals at day had been established with snacks during the day, I found that he had dropped his morning feed and his afternoon 3pm feed.
I breastfeed and at 8 months he only has 2/3 feeds throughout the day. It doesn't bother me as I know he eats cheese and yogurt during the day.
Hi my lo is 7 months we have been on formula for 5 weeks and he has been fine with the transfer as we started to formula gradually with the night feed, it all has been fine acceot this week he has decided to drop his morning feed and is drinking 1-2oz mid so at the moment he is having
