How many oz
Hi Girlies
I have a 7 month old who has always been on SMA. He is gaining the right amount of weight so that is not an issue however I am just wondering if anyone can tell me how may oz of milk he should be taking during the day.
He has never been much of a milk drinker but now he is on solids he only has 1 bottle (5oz) during the day but during the night he has 3 bottles (5oz)
Do you think I should try a different milk to see if it will up his intake during the day and then he wont need it at night - or do yu think this would be pointless?
Any thoughts would be grately appreciated

Thanks for your replies.
I have always fed my lo whenever he wants feeding so we dont really have a routine. He has his solids at set times:
7.30 Breakfast
12.00 Lunch
5.00 Dinner
After posting this LO has started taking 3 bottles during the day but is still having 3 bottles at night. Because he has taken 3 bottles in the day he doesn't take his lunch or dinner.
I will try aptamil or nurture tomorrow to see if this will help
Thanks girlies xx
