How much milk should a baby be drinking at just over 6 months? She's on 3 meals a day! She only has 5oz in her bottles but doesn't always drink it all. She has one when she wakes up, then couple hours later breakfast then couples hours later another bottle then few hours after lunch then bottls in the afternoon then at dinner time dinner, then about 6:30/7 bedtime bottle but hardly drinks any of this. Then sleeps through. Is this ok?

How much is she having throughout the day?
If she's having less than 20oz in a 24hour period then you should give vitamins x

That's what my little boy was like, the hv suggested the healthy start vitamin drops, only a pound or 2 in the chemist.
She also said to give plenty of dairy products like yogurt and cheese x

Evelyn started having 2-3 bottles rather than 5 bottles when she turned 7 months but she did it herself, I noticed when I was giving her milk as usual she just wasn't drinking it and wasted so much milk so then I started giving her one before breakfast then her food then lunch at 12, then snacks through the day like carrot stick puffs and yoghurt then she has her dinner at 6 and a bottle at 8-9 before bed. You will start noticing a difference when she doesn't seem interested in the milk anymore xx

All babies are different :) I've been reading (as Tilly is only 3.5 months) that as long as baby is growing healthy and putting on weight and still have milk 3 times a day (?) that's enough ? I could be wrong though. I will be asking same question in 3 months probably haha ? x

Lilly is same but mostly has around 3oz and at a push 5oz which usually would be night feed. She is on Abidec vitamin drops too to make up for what she is missing x

She's not interested in much milk anymore she's dropped these bottles herself. She goes to bed around 6:30-7/30 I can't keep her up any longer to keep trying her to finish her bedtime milk she just won't do it lol il get some drops tho. Xx

Lilly has probe 3- 4 feeds in a 24 hr period instead of about 6 and does not take a lot.. I have to be careful as she is cmpi and needs her calcium x

That the same as Isabella except she's not got cma. I guess sometimes once foods involved they just not that interested in as much x
