Holly has 3x6 oz bottles of formula, one in the morning, one in the evening and one before bed. Im thinking of dropping the evening one soon though.
I have just started giving her cows milk on her cereal in the morning.
Interested to hear what other babies are having now
Grace will be ten months in a week's time; she has two bottles a day; one when she wakes and one before bed. I make up 8oz for each and she drinks most if not all of the morning one, and 5-6oz at night usually. She is on follow-on formula. I also sometimes give her half a tippee of cow's milk to drink herself with her tea.
Annette - I recently had Grace measured for shoes as well, she is a 3 1/2G!

My prob is she hates drinking out of cups! We have tried a doidy and various sippy cups. She'll have the bare minimum when she's desperate. She prefers to shower the room with them instead!
Any other reluctant drinkers?

Se has had cow's milk on cereal since 9 months (expressing for cereal straight into the bowl was a bit daft!) and in cooking since 5 1/2 months.
I keep trying her on cow's milk to drink, yet she spits it out, fortunately she is over the water fountain stage now, but sometimes the urge takes her and she just has to spurt eevrywhere! Monkey Girl!

cailey has 2x9oz milks feeds a day, one first thing and one before bed.... she drains both. she loves her milk!
she has been having cows milk in her cereal the last month or so, and in cooking since 6 months! i think im gonna move onto the growing up milk before bed when she is a year old.
she is also a greedy girl with water in her cup.... she likes her tt sippy cup and the first explora one. she holds these herself but refuses to hold her own bottle!
when do you plan on moving from a bottle for milk to a beaker? or have you already?
i offer cailey a little water in her cup with no lid on it and she shoves it back at me!

GeorgieS - I am confused about the cows milk thing too, some stuff says they should go on to it AT 12 months and some says BY 12 months - well you cant do both so which is it? I dont know when to do it yet, but I am thinking of giving her middle bottle of the day (the 5oz ) as cows milk to bring it in gradually. Although she has had cows milk on cereal for months now, and even drinks it off the spoon! x
