Hey I need y'all's opinions. So my son is 9 months old and he takes three 6 ounce bottles per day.…

can i ask why you feel that way about formula? either way if hes gaining the right amount of weight then i dont see a problem. you just need to make sure he doesnt get dehydrated. that may be the doctors concern.

I would not ever keep any nutrition from him that he needs, but I do not feel that formula is as beneficial as breast milk... But I unfortunately cannot produce it anymore.

@Roche.mommy6435,

As long as he's not starving and gaining the proper amount of weight I think your decision is fine.

Yes he is gaining plenty of weight @imthequeen!

This chart I have says at 9 months their suppose to have 4 bottles of formula every 6 hours. Is that what you give him?

Formula is their main meal before 1 year

I give him 3 bottles every 5-6 hours @andrewsmommy

@keepingupwithhj, of course, i wasnt meaning it in that way. i was just meaning that if he is over all healthy then i dont see the point in giving an extra bottle, hun. especially if he is doing good with the baby foods. one thing i have learned is not to allow people to make you feel bad for your parenting choices. hes happy and healthy then keep doing what youre doing:)

Thanks so much @roche.mommy6435, that's just what I needed to hear!

Does he still wake to eat at night?

No, he sleeps 10-12 hours every night man drewsmommy

@andrewsmommy,

Mmm he sounds fine to me then. Soon he'll want to eat more though so maybe another bottle in a few months will help fill him

He's been more interested in solids than formula Mande ewsmommy
