When did formula/breast milk consumption decrease?

[rt2008]

DD always consistently drank around 24-25 oz of formula a day and her pedi was ok with it. She just wouldn't take more. So I don't think I'd worry about it nutrient-wise. It sounds like she's eating a lot of solids too for that age, so I think she's ok!

At 7 months, I would offer more formula before solids.

DD2 is 8.5 months and still is eating the same amount that she was at 5-6 months. It hasn't really decreased yet.

ETA: Cut off my last part.. If she doesn't seem hungry, I wouldn't stress. Some kids though basically chug purees not realizing when they are truly full because they eat them so fast. I wonder if that's what is happening with her and then she doesn't want formula later on because of that.

First time was around 8 months- he was literally too busy to eat. I figured when he got thirsty enough he'd take more. I gave him a sippy with water for dinner too. He still would do his bottles at daycare just fine.

At 10 months, he no longer is interested in bottles at daycare either. He currently eats a good portion of solids including iron fortified cereal so I'm not worried. Probably only 14 oz of milk/formula a day now plus water

Ours never did-he is a milk lover. Our pedi was happy with anything over 18oz.

DD never did ha..She sucked 30plus oz. a day until one. She however went in phases at different times of the day on how much she wanted. Sometimes it was 4, 6 or 8. I never really knew for ahwile!

We are going through something very similar right now. DD is almost 8 months. She does ok with her morning bottle (ff) because I think she is very hungry. Throughout the day though it is a struggle to get her to drink. She wants to be sitting up and seeing what else is happening. And just the last couple of days she has only had two bottles instead of her usual three at daycare. She is getting two meals of purees per day - probably one total carton of the larger Gerber foods. And she does seem very interested in that compared to her bottle. She is also getting her bottom teeth so it may be related to that too. I don't know if this is normal or not, but it sounds like they are acting very similar.
